August 2026 project update
The design process for a new singletrack trail at Hyland Lake Park Reserve has been taking place this spring and summer, and a draft design is available for the public to review. A draft design open house was held at Hyland Lake Park Reserve on August 25, 2026.
The draft design incorporates the goals of the project by providing a quality regional amenity while minimizing impacts on natural resources, other park guests and neighbors.
Information presented at the open house is available in the Documents folder and in the Hyland Singletrack Trail Draft Design Survey. You're invited to complete the survey to share your feedback.
Public feedback will help guide the final design. Tentatively, construction will begin in 2027 with a target of opening the trail in spring 2028. The singletrack trail is being developed in partnership with the One Track Mind Foundation.
Project background
In 2025, Three Rivers began operating several park units at Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes that previously were managed by the City of Bloomington, and that cooperative agreement with the city presented an opportunity for Three Rivers to explore options related to a singletrack trail at the park reserve.
Three Rivers staff evaluated the potential for a singletrack trail at Hyland-Bush-Anderson Lakes and concluded that a high-quality, destination mountain bike trail could be developed in the park. The vision is to provide a high-quality riding experience in a first-ring community, supporting the growing interest in mountain biking, while continuing to protect the high-quality natural resources within the Park Reserve.
These project goals have been identified to help guide design and construction of the trail project.
Preserve and protect the high-quality natural resources within the park reserve
Minimize impact to other park users
Minimize impact to neighboring residents
Minimize crossings of existing in-park trails
Protect the cross-country ski infrastructure in the park by closing the singletrack trail in the winter months
Construct a trail that flows well with the existing landscape and topography
Provide a mix of beginning, intermediate and advanced trails, with some challenging technical sections and features
Use existing park amenities for parking, restrooms and drinking water
