Minnehaha Regional Park in Minneapolis is home to Minnehaha Falls, a picturesque 53-foot waterfall that\u2019s even more enhanced when its surrounding fauna turns red, gold and bronze. The park also contains picnic areas and biking and hiking trails. Newcomer Gold Medal Park is bringing life\u2014and color\u2014to the revitalized riverfront Mill District.

For more advanced riders, Foothills Parkway is a low-traffic, yet hilly scenic route while the Tail of the Dragon provides a bit of a tight-knuckled highway ride. The Little River Run is best for cyclists of all ages. Another fall foliage option is Chattanooga. Use the Chattanooga Bike Share System to pedal along a 13-mile paved Riverwalk running along the Tennessee River and through the Bluff View Art District. Mountain bikers can ride the trails at\u00a0Stringer\u2019s Ridge,\u00a0Enterprise South Nature Park\u00a0or on Lookout, Signal or Raccoon mountains.
