Didn't think Bemidji was important enough yet to get this kind of stuff going, but I'm guessing it's becoming more and more of a tourist haven around here.

It's up and coming enough that last I was there, Bemidji wanted to build a dedicated bikeway to Brainerd.

That's actually a state trail...the Paul Bunyan State Trail (http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_trails/paul_bunyan/index.html). Along a former rail ROW.
