Minnesota is particularly attractive to cyclists, with more 250 miles of tree-lined bike trails along former railroad beds and, in the north east, old logging roads and forest trails designed for the mountain biker. There are also facilities for rock climbing - for the experienced and beginner alike - on the cliffs of Lake Superior, as well as diving to view underwater shipwrecks in its waters.
