Grand Rounds Bike Tours: Bde Maka Ska (Roosevelt 55+)


Lifelong Learning 55+ / Trips & Tours -
Lifelong Learning 55+ Spring 2026

Explore with a Minneapolis Parks Naturalist the deep and important connection this city has with water, both historically and today while touring the Minneapolis Grand Rounds on your bicycle. Planned stops along the way will offer opportunities to learn and discuss the highlighted features and history of individual tours.

Each session will start and end in the same location and will be between 10-14 miles roundtrip. Please bring your own bike, helmet, and water. There is also an option to stay and socialize with the group for lunch after the program (bring your own picnic or dine from one of the near-by establishments).

This 10-mile ride will explore three South Minneapolis Lakes and discuss the history of alterations that have been made and how those water engineering decisions effect the health of the lakes. Meet the group at Bde Maka Ska Refectory, 3000 E Bde Maka Ska Pkwy. Park in neighborhood or the North parking lot near Thomas Ave S and W Lake St and bike over.

Program will be cancelled when environmental conditions are not suitable for safe biking. This includes severe weather, thunderstorms, or steady rain with wind speeds exceeding 15 mph, or when MPRB thresholds for excessive heat and air quality are surpassed.
