The Harriet Island Bike With A Ranger route starts at Harriet Island in downtown Saint Paul and travels upriver to explore the history, geology, watersheds, and parks that connect us all to the Mississippi River. The ride showcases the connection of a city that sprung up in the middle of wildlife, history and culture. The route travels through floodplain forests that provide some of the most productive habitats in Minnesota, as well as culturally significant sites like Harriet Island, Lilydale Regional Park, Sibley Historic Site and Bdote at Fort Snelling.
