Medicine Lake Regional Trail

Wooden boardwalk across the Elm Creek marsh

Highlight • Bridge

This lengthy boardwalk on the Medicine Regional Trail, which crosses a marsh along Elm Creek, has been under reconstruction for several months. According to a local in the neighborhood with whom we visited, the project's completion is delayed because a necessary component for the reconstruction is unavailable. Today, we backtracked 1,500 feet north to a paved trail that connected to neighborhood roads, bringing us back to the Medicine Lake Regional Trail.

Rice Creek Regional Trail from Bass Lake Road to Rice Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This section of the Medicine Lake Regional Trail, located between Bass Lake Road and Rice Lake, like the komoot cycling segment highlight between Camelot and Fish Lakes, offers an uninterrupted, smooth-surfaced, "flowy" ride that feels almost dreamlike as you cycle through woodlands, marshes, and past lakes.
