Minnesota might not have any mountains...but it actually has some excellent mountain biking! We highly recommend checking out Cayuna trails. There are a few places to rent bikes in Crosby, and trails for every level of biker. There are also some nice paved trails around the park and a few breweries and restaurants popping up in the area that are definitely worth checking out after a nice ride. If you do this, we recommend bringing your swimsuit along as there are a couple of nice lakes along the trails to cool off in.
While several hours away from Bay Lake, the Boundary Waters are a must-see area for anyone visiting Minnesota. It's beautiful, pristine, and some of the best canoeing you can do. There are lots of options available up there from staying at a resort/lodge to renting a cabin, to going out for a canoe camping adventure. The canoe adventure is what we'd recommend, and there are several outfitters up there that can provide you with all the gear and supplies you'll need. Let us know if you have any questions!
Minneapolis is a sweet city to visit! There are tons of bike trails, breweries, and other fun activities. If you're looking for specific recommendations, give us a holler!
