Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Minneapolis à Richfield

Kick off your ride in the heart of Minneapolis, a city famous for its bike-friendly vibes and scenic routes—plus enough parks, art, and lakes to keep you coming back! This 22 km cruise south to Richfield is almost completely on dedicated cycleways, so you can relax and enjoy the ride without much car traffic to worry about. The route is mostly paved (asphalt for the win!) and rolls gently southward, with a couple of mellow climbs and descents along the way—nothing too intense.

You’ll pedal past pretty neighborhoods and catch glimpses of Minnehaha Creek or nearby green spaces, especially if you make a pit stop at Minnehaha Park, famous for its beautiful 53-foot waterfall. As you roll into Richfield, you’ll find yourself in a cozy residential suburb just south of Minneapolis, known for its friendly atmosphere and leafy parks (Wood Lake Nature Center is a local gem).

All in all, this is a smooth, laid-back ride for anyone looking to get out of the city for a spell while staying off busy roads. Enjoy the ride!
