- Elm Creek is among my favorite trails in the Twin Cities. It's a trail that rewards pedaling and that you can maintain your speed for long stretches. Many people dub it as "the best flow trail in the Twin Cities," and I would have to agree. There are also a lot of fun optional skinnies, jumps, and drops. The trail does a great job in offering something for everyone.

I live a half mile from the trail head and I can’t believe I’ve never been on these dirt trails!! I’ve been on all the paved trails at Elm Creek, and I had a Trek Elite 9.8, that’s what this was made for! I now have an FX sport 5, I’m going to make it happen!
I loveeee the flow at elm. Especially in that open meadow area with the jumps
I ride here multiple times a week. It's cool to watch these older videos and see how much the trail has changed. They've added a bunch of jumps to the main blue trail.
Forgot just how much fun Elm is!
I always have a good time at elm, and it’s one of the closer trails for me to get to.
I've done some 5k runs there but have never ridden the trails. Looks nice.
My favorite trail in the cities for going for a cruise.
I have to say powerline is my favorite
Agreed. Always fun to get in a few laps there.
I was going to go mountain biking on trails for the first time but I didn’t know it was closed for the winter at most parts 😂
Hi! I was just checking out how other people did on those trails I loved them seems you had fun too
Nice! Love riding at Elm. Lake Rebecca is also amazing. I did it for the first time and the biggest loop was 12.5 miles. Awesome singletrack. Just did Cuyuna for the first time (just moved from LA) and loved it, although we didn’t do it all. Maybe I’ll see you on the trails some time
Awesome! We’re lucky to have lots of great trail all within a few hours, with more on the way! I need to get back out to Lake Rebecca, it’s been a few years.
Nice trails! I really like the jump/drop area.
Yeah, it’s a lot of fun to get multiple laps in.
Sick track this dude !
I see they put cones and signs in the jump area. I heard someone took a bad fall in that section and they closed it for a bit, glad they opened it back up. I only get up they once or twice a year but always have a lot of fun. It flows so damn good!
Yeah, I heard the same thing about the jump area. It seems they are making it well established to ride at your own risk. Elm is my favorite spot to ride if I’m looking for a mindless cruise, or to hold a conversation while riding.
Damn! Id have to agree on the best flow trail comment ive ridden this trail a few times its great! Massive gopro affect on a few of those features
Definitely one of the best trails to get you in the flow state. It’s smooth, which seem people aren’t big fans of but damn can you carry some speed through here if you like. Still a favorite of mine and totally agree with you on the trail maintenance and additions. I wish Lake Rebecca would get spiced up a bit.
Definitely agree. I haven’t been out to Lake Rebecca in a few years, but always thought it had good potential.
I had a race at lake Rebecca last year and it was kinda boring yeah
The roller coaster is probably my favorite part it’s extremely fast if you want it to be
Looking to bike this trail soon came upon your channel and I'm definitely subbing. I also live in MN
Appreciate it!
Love that trail
One of the best in the Twin Cities forsure
Absolutely! Would you be interested in doing a video together?
I love riding that trail but I never have anyone to go with
thanks!!!
Yeah I like elm creek
What camera/rig setup are ya using?
GoPro Hero 7 Black with the Feiyu Tech WG2X Gimbal attached to the stuntman chest harness. I have a recent video where I test the setup that goes over it.

I live close by and recently moved back here from MQT Michigan… how much $$ do I have to pay for you to teach me
I live in Minnesota
