America's Byways and National Wildlife Refuges
Grand Rounds Scenic Byway (Minnesota)

Our nation's longest continuous system of public urban parkways, the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway surrounds the city of Minneapolis with lovely parks, hiking and biking trails, lakes and nature areas. One such nature area is the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Located southeast and southwest of the byway on the Minnesota River, this refuge is a carefully managed marshland and oak savanna area that provides excellent opportunities for watching migratory birds and other wildlife. During the winter enjoy snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing.
