Hiawatha LRT Trail is a 4.7-mile (7.6 km), multi-use path adjacent to a light-rail transit line in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, that is popular with bicycle commuters.

Lack of adequate signage has made route identification difficult for some users, especially in the area around East Lake Street.
