Minnesota Miles
A Whole New Perspective
A hike down Pike Creek offers a whole new look at Charles A. Lindbergh State Park.
Trail Pairings: Mineral Springs Brewery
The beers at Mineral Springs Brewery come with stories and the fat bike trails are groomed-a perfect match!
Trail Pairings: Drastic Measures Brewing
A visit to Wadena’s Black’s Grove Park pairs well with an après pint at Drastic Measures Brewing.
Trail Pairings: Bad Habit Brewing Co
A ride on the Lake Wobegon Trail pairs very well with a visit to Bad Habit Brewing in Saint Joseph.
Trail Pairings: Beaver Island Brewing Co
A canoe trip on the Mississippi deserves a pint at Saint Cloud’s Beaver Island Brewing Company.
Trail Pairings: Revelation Ale Works
20 miles from Canada and North Dakota, Revelation Ale Works serves up cold beers to warm you up after skiing Lake Bronson State Park.
Trail Pairings: Take 16 Brewing Co
In the far southeastern corner of Minnesota, a trip to Blue Mounds State Park finishes off nicely at Take 16 Brewing Co.
Trail Pairings: Brau Brothers Brewing Co
There’s a beer-dispensing fire truck at Brau Brothers in Marshall, MN. Just what I needed after hitting the Camden Trail.
Trail Pairings: Bank Brewing in Hendricks, MN
This is the first entry in my new series called Trail Pairings, where I visit a place, explore their roads and trails and visit the local taproom so I can recommend a beer to go with it. Someone’s gotta do it.
Made in Minnesota: Crow Wing Kayaks
Jim Bergquist’s shirt reads ‘Paddle. Relax. Repeat.’ and he likes his new digs.
The Year of the Fat: First Quarter
The Year of the Fat in which I’ll ride only my fat bike.
Made in Minnesota: Black Ship Cycles
Black Ship Cycles, a one person shop, makes custom cycles in Minneapolis, MN.
Yurts so Good
It was cold. There’s just no other way to put it. Nostril-freezing, eyeball-cracking, toes-numb cold.
About me
I’m Jan, the publisher of Minnesota Trails Magazine. I’m looking for that one trail, the next ride, a new discovery and other reasons never to sit still in Minnesota.
