Biking Around the Park

Perimeter routes that connect to the regional trail system while protecting interior natural areas.

Cycling here keeps to the park's perimeter, where wide routes connect into the larger regional trail system. The arrangement is deliberate: bikes stay to the edges so the interior woods, wetlands, and nesting grounds remain quiet and undisturbed.

It makes for an easy, rolling ride with the lake never far from view. Some pass through on their way across the city; others come simply to circle the water and let the landscape unspool beside them.
