This route stretches from a street corner in Dayton to the shore of Medicine Lake in Plymouth. Southbound, you'll enter Elm Creek Park Reserve and run past Eastman Nature Center. After a quick view of the ski hill, a hard right will take you up and out of the park and across highway 610 on an excellent bridge! A bit of urban Maple Grove gives way to nice, woodsy miles. Once in Plymouth, it's a few miles along Cheshire Parkway, Schmidt Lake Road, and Northwest Blvd before a quick dip into French Regional Park. The climb out of French Park leads to a swooping downhill and the last few miles along Medicine Lake.
