Still under
development: The Mississippi River Trail
(MRT) is a world-class bicycling route
that travels from the headwaters of the
Mississippi River at Lake Itasca,
Minnesota to the Delta at the Gulf of
Mexico in Louisiana. It is a 3,000-mile
system of bicycle-friendly roads and
multi-use pathways connecting 10 states,
the cities of Minneapolis, St. Louis,
Memphis and New Orleans, and hundreds of
smaller towns along the way. The MRT is
a unique way to experience the
Mississippi River’s natural wonders,
transportation system, recreational
facilities and cultural heritage. |
