Elm Creek is a good place to give mountain biking a first try.
The trail is relatively short, easy and quite beautiful in places. Combine some exercise with an educational visit to Eastman Nature Center. Elm Creek is Hennepin Park's largest preserve. It contains five lakes, three streams, extensive wetlands and mature hardwood forests within the 5,400-acre site. It is easy to look across the wide unbuilt expanses and imagine you have stepped 200 years back in time.
