The Trailhead

This has got to be one of the most amazing community centers I've been to in the US. I was looking for places to tube and I'm so glad this popped up on my Google Maps. Currently they have tubing times every 2 hours and it's first come first serve for every 2 hour block. It's $10 for a tube rental and you do unfortunately have to climb up the stairs yourself. It honestly is such a workout but the ride down is incredibly worth it as you do go through electifying speeds. With breaks in between, our group managed to do 8 runs which I thought was very fun. Otherwise, I thought the building and all its facilities was fantastic. There are so many activities you can rent out from snow-shoeing to cross-crountry skiing at such an affordable rate. Also there were so many people to help you out with all the different activities. The bathrooms were also very clean and there was plenty of seating inside.I seriously cannot recommend the Trailhead more to anyone who is looking for outdoor activities and associated rentals in the Minneapolis region.

This is such a wonderful community space! This can be a great meet-up before you go biking, golfing, skiing, running or more. You can eat at the restaurant and grab a drink. On Friday nights there's live music and large gatherings of neighbors heading into the weekend. On Wednesdays in the summer there are bike races for all ages. You can rent all different types of bikes for kids and adults, skis and other winter equipment for reasonable fees. Be sure to become a Loppet member for early bird sign ups, discounts and events all year!

Wow, what an honor it is to be the first to review The Trailhead! This is a place with many faces: rent equipment, hang out, grab a bite, host an event or wedding - you name it! RENTALS: They've got active life items for sale, and in the winter, you can get your Nordic ski equipment rentals here.EAT: Stop by the Mill Valley Market inside or window outside to sit and eat.EVENT: This space is gorgeous - and I didn't even think about it being an event venue until the Mill Valley team mentioned they're hosting a wedding the day we stopped in! They've got great indoor and outdoor space.This is a true trailhead spot for all seasons and reasons.

My friends and I have used the Trailhead as a meeting spot for a group of 3-4 for hiking at the nearby Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary and then we enjoyed a wonderful lunch afterwards here at the Mill Valley Market. There's lots of comfortable seating inside and tables outside, Beautiful location and there's parking! Awesome!
