Confirmed from Pine Point Regional Park'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.
Natural area featuring forests & lakes, with biking, hiking & equestrian trails, plus bird-watching.

“Horse trails are nice and wide for all levels of riders.”
Beautiful Park. If you go northeast on the gateway trail it's unpaved and there's several trails that loop into the woods that are really nice.
Lovely place to hike in serene, quiet setting close to the Twin Cities. Beautiful large pine trees lining the hiking paths.
Excellent destination point for bike trails starting in Stillwater, have biked here and picnicked several times. There are always majestic horses in the area and can be seen along the trails while biking.
We ride the gateway trail in the summer up to Pine Point. We live in Maplewood and the Bruce Vento trail runs through our back yard. We ride two blocks and we're on the Gateway trail. With the new Browns Creek trail we have choices. Great riding trails. Well maintained and not super busy unless you ride at peak times.

“It has a big parking lot and a couple of bathrooms so you can prepare for your ride, but that's about all the park has to offer”
“However, I don't think the dog and I will be hiking here again.”
