Travel along the Minnesota Valley State Trail in Shakopee and explore how the rich natural landscape of the area has supported its inhabitants for hundreds of years. Think of the landscape as a historical artifact as we explore how people have interacted with it over time, how it was used, and how it has changed.
The guided bike tour begins at 10 AM on Saturday, July 9 and lasts approximately two hours, covering six miles total. This includes some hilly terrain as well as a brief foray off the trail into downtown Shakopee. Participants must bring their own bikes and all participants must wear helmets (no exceptions!). This tour is open to participants ages 12 and up; participants under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
