Mountain Biking

Whether you want scenic trails or spine-tingling switchbacks, you’ve got miles of terrain to choose from in the Detroit Lakes area. Experience the biking and hiking trails nearly year round. Pro tip: Cooler temperatures and a rainbow carpet of leaves make fall an ideal time to hit our trails.

Bike the first multi-use trail in the region! Pedal or jog the five-mile Heartland State Trail from the Detroit Lakes Hwy 10 east underpass to Acorn Lake before Frazee. See Detroit Lakes’ bike trail map for additional routes to ride.
Detroit Lakes was awarded the bronze-level Bicycle Friendly Community Award in June 2020 from the League of American Bicyclists.
