Challenging biking, I've only done the beginner and intermediate. I like the beginner loop a lot, out in the prairie, fast packed sand with some small jumps.

Although this spot offers a close-up view of Staring Lake, if you continue along the Staring Lake Trail around the shoreline, you’ll discover several more viewpoints, especially on the northwest side of the lake.

This entry point to the Minnesota Valley Trail is conveniently located off State Highway 101. Ample parking is available, though there are no restrooms on site. From here, the trail heads west toward Shakopee or north across the Minnesota River to Bloomington.

Shakopee Memorial Park is a community green space centered around the historic Mill Pond. This pond, which winds through the park, is fed by natural springs that originate at the site of Samuel Pond's mission to the Dakota people, connecting the park to the region's earliest history. At the lower end of Mill Pond, a grist mill once played a vital role in the community. Built and operated by Samuel Pond's sons, Martin and Robert Pond, the mill used water from the pond to power its operations. Today, the park offers a tranquil setting that honors the legacy of the Pond family and the city’s industrial origins.

This 137-acre park, the largest in Shakopee, offers trails and bridges with beautiful views of the water. You can find several benches and picnic shelters for taking a break. The park is unique for its Veterans Memorial and Native American burial mounds.

This series of small drops creates a bike stairway for riders to enjoy. Notice the trail that goes around the feature if you're out for a more mellow ride.
