4191 Snail Lake Blvd., Shoreview, MN 55126
We are reviving birding by bicycle! Discover the fun of birding from a bicycle on more than 5 miles of mostly level, paved, multi-use trails that connect four lakes in Shoreview: Grass, Snail, Sucker, and Vadnais, all of which are prime birding locations for Ramsey County (top 10 hotspots on eBird). Landscape here is varied and includes lakes, woods, wetlands, and open grassland. Optional bakery-stop midway (bring bike lock): Taste of Scandinavia Bakery is a block off the trail in North Oaks.
