An extension of the Dakota Rail Trail west into Lester Prairie in McLeod County was completed in 2019, and the long-term vision has it extend west into Hutchinson to link up with the Luce Line State Trail. In Wayzata, trail users can connect to the 63-mile Luce Line State Trail and go east to Plymouth and west to Cosmos on a variety of surfaces.
