Ironton, Minnesota: Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area

Last year, this mini Boundary Waters in the Brainerd Lakes region opened its long-promised mountain bike trails, all 25 miles of them, wearing names like Little Sidewinder, Easy Street, Roly Poly and Bob Sled. In Crosby, you can rent bikes at Cycle Path and Paddle then catch the paved Cuyuna Lakes State Trail and join the fairly easy mountain biking Boot Camp trail for an 8-mile round-trip (218/546-5926; dnr.state.mn.us).
