Minnehaha Creek Biketrail Under 35W

This is part of the Grand Rounds and the "Minnehaha Byway District" which includes the Minnehaha Creek, may parks, the parkway road and bike trail. This was the first trail that I biked on when I moved to the city, it goes from the bottom of Lake Harriet to the Minnehaha falls. They've been rebuilding 35W since before the old 35W bridge fell into the Mississippi. The bridge is almost done but they've almost completely destroyed the trail and it's a rough ride. Here's the trick... there's a foot path on the other side of the creek; you only have to go a short distance on it and if you watch for pedestrians and play nice, it's much easier. There's a street bridge on the west side and a foot bridge on the east side, they are both easy to find.
