Getting There
Did you know that you can take a walking/bike trail all the way from Eagle Ridge Apartments to the Maple Grove Community Center, where most of the events are being held? Take a nice leisurely stroll or ride to Maple Grove Days and have some fun!

Update 7.13.13

Thank you Brenda for the suggestion of a map. Here it is! Hope it helps. The trail runs along the North/East side of 73rd at first, and then the South side of 73rd. From there it continues along the West side of Hemlock and up to Arbor Lakes Parkway N. Then it's a short trail around the lakes near Town Green Park.
