America's Byways

Grand Rounds Scenic Byway
Minnesota

Throughout the entire Grand Rounds Scenic Byway System, there are paved pedestrian trails (45 miles) and bicycle trails (43 miles) that are separated from the adjacent parkway road surfaces. Pedestrian and bicyclist intersections with motor vehicle traffic are well marked and properly controlled to provide for the safe management of multi-modal traffic. The entire route is designed and maintained for passenger vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. The 8-foot wide bituminous paths are designed for two directional travel, with one exception: the bike path around the Chain of Lakes. When on the paths, please obey the 10 mph speed limit, be considerate of others, keep to the right side of all paths, sound off when passing, and observe all current bike regulations.
