Location Minneapolis , Minnesota , United States
Minneapolis is often considered one of the top biking and walking cities in the United States due to its vast network of trails and dedicated pedestrian areas. In 2020, Walk Score rated Minneapolis as 13th highest among cities over 200,000 people.[1] [2] [3] km )[4] Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway parkway system accounts for the vast majority of the city's shared-use paths at approximately 50 miles (80 km ) of dedicated biking and walking areas.[5] county , and park board areas accounted for approximately 30 miles (48 km ) of additional trails, for a city-wide total of approximately 80 miles (130 km ) of protected pathways. The network of shared biking and walking paths continued to grow into the late 2010s with the additions of the Hiawatha LRT Trail gap remediation, Min Hi Line pilot projects, and Samatar Crossing .[4]

Minneapolis includes a number of shared-use or mixed-use paths , which are separate from a roadway, and they support multiple recreation and transportation opportunities, such as bicycling , walking, inline skating , roller skiing , and people in wheelchairs .
