The Gateway Trail is a go-to destination, particularly for cyclists; it's paved goodness from St. Paul all the way to little Pine Point Park, north of downtown Stillwater. It just got even better: the 5.9-mile Brown's Creek State Trail opened last fall, and connects the Gateway in the city of Grant to downtown Stillwater. gatewaybrownscreektrail.org
