At your fingertips, a fun outdoor adventure destination
Traveling closer to home, near a central metro area, is the new norm for many of us trying to stretch our vacation dollars. So a bicycling staycation or a one-tank drive to explore Lakeville may open your eyes to new horizons with economic and environmental benefits. Where nature meets the Twin Cities, Lakeville offers enough trails and fun outdoor activities around its lakes that you will want to extend your stay.
Established in 1855, the city was named after the recreational waters of Lake Marion, just west of Historic Downtown Lakeville. Today, you will find many paved and off-road trails connecting the several parks in the community. Especially if you’re looking for some good mountain biking fun. You will want to visit bike, hike, or paddle here frequently. The town may be small, but there are enough fun outdoor activities around its lakes for everyone. Even if you only stay long enough to stroll or roll the Lakeville Public Art tour.
Places to ride when you explore Lakeville
The city has many biking options. It all depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re looking to explore the entire town, then plenty of roads with trails allow for a nice comfortable bike ride. If you’re looking for a little challenge, the West Lake Marion Mountain Bike Park or Buck Hill, Lebanon Hills, and Murphy Hanrahan offer offroad riding that caters to all skill levels.
