Walk the Douglas trail. It is comfortable and full of people taking the time to exercise: walking, jogging, biking. Very pleasant! I liked my visit to Rochester.

Great biking trail. Well-maintained and mostly shaded. Mostly flat as well. Few places to use the bathroom or rest though so plan accordingly.

This is a very easy biking/running/walking trail. It is built on an old train bed, so it is flat, mostly straight, and lined with trees that provide shade and wind break. There is a separate trail that runs parallel that is unfinished. It is for snowmobilers and horseback riders.The trail is roughly 14 miles long with mile markers at every mile, so you can easily decide the length of your workout. The trail takes you through woods, farmland, prairie filled with wildflowers, dairy farms, and through the cities of Rochester, Douglas, and Pine Island.

Its a great trail connecting the north west side to the new Cascade Lake park, and makes getting their easy. Also a very cool bridge over highway 14. great place to stop and take in the scenery!

I used to ride this to train for Ride the Rockies. About 30 miles after work. It eventually became too crowded and I stopped using it.
