A Look at Parking Along Dakota Rail Regional Trail
People come from all over to use and enjoy the trail, and therein lies the problem.
Nearly 411,000 people biked, hiked or jogged along the Dakota Rail Regional Trail last year. This 13-mile, multi-use trail runs from Wayzata to St. Bonifacius (and continues to Mayer in Carver County). It offers spectacular views of Lake Minnetonka and has become a regional destination.

Not all visitors are familiar with local parking options. As a result, parking in unauthorized locations can be a problem in some communities. Three Rivers Park District, which manages and operates the trail, would like to remind users to please be sure and park in designated public parking areas. These parking areas include:
