MORC, with the support from the City of Lake Elmo, added bike trails to Sunfish Lake Park in 2020. Work has continued to improve the trails, add features, and improve signage.

The route consists of a Green Trail, Blue Trail, and Black Trail loop all with their share of flow and technical features. Please be aware this route has features that are intended for skill building. If you are new rider or are looking for a lower-risk option I suggest Reid Park which is only a few miles away.

This is the place for you if you are looking for a place to practice rollers, jumps, berms, elevated lines, and more.

Sunfish Lake Park is considered by many to be the crown jewel of the Lake Elmo park system – an important symbol of the quiet rural character of Lake Elmo. The first European settlement in Lake Elmo was located near this park, and it is here where the assembly met that created the township we now know as the City of Lake Elmo.

The park is a 284-acre natural area that is recognized by the Department of Natural Resources as a "Regionally Significant Ecological Area." Depending on the season, woodland, wetland, and prairie plant communities can be enjoyed by skiing or walking the network of approximately nine miles of mowed trails. Recent improvements to the park include a 17-acre prairie restoration project on the south side of the park. The mix of native wildflower and grass species used on the project was based on the plant community that is believed to have been present in this area prior to European settlement. The park is home to a wealth of wildlife.
