2021 Report on Mountain Bike System Surveys and Trail Counts

2/14/2022

Comments

 
The Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission coordinated a survey of three mountain bike systems in Greater Minnesota during the summer of 2021. The Parks and Trails Council of Minnesota was hired to conduct a visitor intercept survey and trail user counts at the Cook County Mountain Bike Trails, Duluth Traverse, and Detroit Mountain Recreation Area.

In this report you will find detailed information about the user counts and the visitor profiles for each system. The report begins with a trail county summary that provides a starting point to understand the unique differences and the similarities of the average daily traffic.

If you have questions or comments, please contact Renee Mattson, Executive Director at renee.mattson@gmrptcommission.org, or Joe Czapiewski, System Plan Coordinator at coordinator@gmrptcommission.org.
