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.

Paved path, single track mountain bike trails, lots of ways to explore!

Nice river views from the bike path.

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.

Murphy-Hanrehan has miles of singletrack trails suited to riders of all abilities. Most of the trails would be considered easy by experienced riders, and the majority of technical features have ride arounds, so even beginners should be able to complete the loop. A hardtail mountain bike is more than enough to handle the terrain and experience riders could probably handle it on a hybrid or gravel bike.

Here is a link to a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources map of summer trails at Fort Snelling State Park (https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/state_parks/spk00154_summer.pdf). Although bicycles are allowed on many of the park trials, the legend on the map shows, sadly, that the circumferential trail on Pike Island is for hiking only.

at the tip of Pike Islands a very nice packed Earth bike route around this little Island

This bridge provides access to the Minnesota River Bottoms, featuring a dedicated bike lane that connects to the mountain bike trail, or you can enjoy a peaceful ride along the paved trail that hugs the beautiful river.
