Mountain Biking

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

The first multi-use trail in the region is open! Bike 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.
