Confirmed from Lebanon Hills West Trailhead'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.
Park and woods offering a variety of activities, including hiking and mountain biking.
What runners say about Lebanon Hills West Trailhead
“Super fun, very well marked trails.”
The west trailhead at Lebanon Hills is a gem for hiking. I pass other hikers only intermittently and aside from hearing occasional mountain bikers fly past on the adjacent trails, I feel fairly alone in nature. If looking to avoid a crowd while hiking, this is the place.
I rode there on my electric bike to check out the trails. The trailhead facilities are nice and well kept. Unfortunately for me, I didn't do my research as these are mountain bike trails of varying difficulty. It looked fun had I been on a different bike.
One of the best mtb trails you'll find in the Minneapolis area. The trails are a good length and we'll groomed. Good for all skill levels!
Excellent mountain bike and hiking trailhead. Adequate parking. Nice bathroom and water filling station. Also has bike repair area.
