Confirmed from 77 Walking/Biking Trail Bridge's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about 77 Walking/Biking Trail Bridge

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (24 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

🏞️ beautiful scenery 5 mentions

“Great views and very easy to access.”

Great trails... run across the bridge to the end of the pavement, and you can go left or right on dirt for miles. This is very close to the Mall of America for reference.

★★★★★ — Bryan , Nov 2023

Really beautiful. It was neat to walk around the bridge. There is a lot of space, so even with a number of people walking, this is a good place to bike or run. Had a steady stream of people, but it never felt busy. There was lots to see from the bridge and, there are a lot of different walking trails.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
