Cedar Lake Trail is a 4.3-mile (6.9 km), shared-use path in the U.S. state of Minnesota, from downtown Minneapolis to the neighboring suburb of St. Louis Park. The trail begins at its eastern trailhead in downtown Minneapolis (44°59′11″N 93°16′01″W / 44.98645°N 93.26694°W) and continues west to Minnesota State Highway 100 in St. Louis Park (44°57′43″N 93°20′36″W / 44.96208°N 93.34335°W).[1] At the trail's west end, a paved path continues for another 4.2 miles (6.8 km) through St. Louis Park to Hopkins[2] under the former name of Hutchinson Spur Trail ("Hutch Spur"), but known as North Cedar Lake Regional Trail since 2009. In 2019, large portions of the Cedar Lake Trail were closed due to construction of the Southwest LRT extension with expected reopening in 2021 or 2022.[3]
