I don't think I've seen it mentioned yet. The connection of the Cedar Lake Trail to Cedar Lake Road just south of the West End in St Louis Park. There are about 4-5 desire paths on either side of Hwy 100. The approved path is to go up and around on the bridge.

Re: "Desire Paths": Greatest Hits Collection in MN
Here's a nice path across U.S. 10 in St. Cloud, on the south end of the interchange with 3rd Street/MN-23:

Wow, there's a few more across the highway a bit further south, too!

Re: "Desire Paths": Greatest Hits Collection in MN
I'm on that end of StC on occasion and I see people crossing US10 there all the time. It's terrifying, really.
The problem with being an introvert online is that no one knows you're just hanging out and listening.
Re: "Desire Paths": Greatest Hits Collection in MN
It isn't in MN but here is a desire path I used a couple times that got turned official. Guess they were afraid of liability issues. A pedestrian crossing over railroad tracks in Ft. Collins CO
On satellite you can see the before: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.559946, ... a=!3m1!1e3
Street view after: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.559946, ... ag!2e0!3e5
I don't know if that is really effective, haven't been back in years. It was done as part of a transit project.

There's a new ~750 foot chain length extension of the fence north of the cedar lake trail. It now extends east of Quentin. As of a week ago it was still intact.I don't think I've seen it mentioned yet. The connection of the Cedar Lake Trail to Cedar Lake Road just south of the West End in St Louis Park. There are about 4-5 desire paths on either side of Hwy 100. The approved path is to go up and around on the bridge.

Re: "Desire Paths": Greatest Hits Collection in MN
Looking at that set of paths in St. Cloud, it's pretty apparent that everyone is heading to/from the Cash Wise Foods grocery. There's a surprising concentration of apartments and hotels around that whole area.

Holy hell I was just wondering about how to get from the trail to West End the other day as I'm planning a bike date with my wife for next week. Good to know...

Re: "Desire Paths": Greatest Hits Collection in MN
Although the fence on the north side of the tracks now extends further east, it appears one can hug the north side of it into some bushes and get through. I'm sure those bushes will be trimmed soon.There's a new ~750 foot chain length extension of the fence north of the cedar lake trail. It now extends east of Quentin.

Re: "Desire Paths": Greatest Hits Collection in MN
Not a desire path, per se, but one time a tornado decided to create a desire path from Theodore Wirth Park to Weber Park, and you can still see it from space years later:
