MRT Riding Day 1 - 7/31/2026 - Bemidji, MN - 12 miles

Bemidji Lake is the farthest northern most part of the Mississippi River.  This is where we are starting our Mississippi River Trail (MRT) bike trip, riding south to St. Louis / St. Charles, MO.   Yesterday we stopped on Itasca State Park, MN to see the Mississippi River headwaters just south of Bemidji.

 

The Mississippi Headwaters at Itasca State Park.  Lots of people swimming at the headwaters - that was unexpected.
