Hike In Place

Here are a few hikes, bikes, runs, or other jaunts around the twin cities metro area that are especially close to home.

Best Hikes Mpls/St Paul

If you’re working from home, underemployed or not working (we’re sorry, us too), need to walk the dog or just looking for something other than the search for face masks and toilet paper to get you out of the house during the #stayathomeMN, try a handful of these hikes that are close to home for all you twin cities folk out there.

We’ve purposely excluded walks around the lakes from this list as we find it hard to practice effective social distancing at what have become very crowded public spaces. These may not be anyone's obvious choices but we've tried to focus on places that you have likely driven past but perhaps not fully experienced, and provide the opportunity to experience nature and its calming, restorative qualities.
