Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Burnsville à Saint Louis Park

Get ready for a pleasant ride from Burnsville up to Saint Louis Park! You'll start in Burnsville, a southern Twin Cities suburb known for its outdoor spaces and easygoing vibes. The route covers nearly 43 km, mostly on paved cycleways, so you’ll have plenty of smooth ground beneath your wheels.

With just over 214 meters of ascent and even a bit more descent, the ride is friendly for most cyclists—not too hilly, but not totally flat either. You’ll cruise north through suburban neighborhoods, park areas, and perhaps get a peek at the Minnesota River before rolling into Saint Louis Park. This city is just west of Minneapolis and is well-loved for its parks and bike-friendly streets.

Most of your journey is on dedicated bike paths, so expect minimal traffic stress. Keep an eye out for the mix of surfaces—while it’s nearly all smooth asphalt, there are the occasional stretches with other paving types. All in all, it’s an awesome urban-suburban adventure connecting two classic Twin Cities communities!
