Hermantown Connector Trail System (Boulder Trail)
About Hermantown Connector Trail System (Boulder Trail)
The Hermantown Connector Trail System is the city's ongoing effort to link its parks, schools, and neighborhoods with off-road path, with the Boulder Trail segment leaving from Stebner Park at 4860 Maple Grove Road (City of Hermantown, accessed 2026-08-13).
It matters more than its current mileage suggests. Hermantown's biggest structural weakness as a place to live is that nothing is walkable, and a connected trail network is the only realistic path to changing that. The city has also studied spur connections toward the Willard Munger State Trail, which would tie the suburb into the regional system.
For now, treat it as a promising and incomplete asset: real segments that are genuinely useful for local walking and riding, but not yet a network that replaces car trips.
Good to know: neighborhood connector trail, park-to-park links, walking and biking, future regional connections.
