“Regardless of age or ability, the Winter Trails Day is an ideal opportunity to discover a recreational activity capable of transforming our long winters into a season to be enjoyed rather than merely endured.”
The event is happening snow or shine, so bundle up and join us for this great Minnesota winter get together. Dogs are welcome and must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet and under control at all times. Please pick up after your pets :)
This event is free and open to everyone, however vehicles require a Minnesota State Park permit; $7 for the day or $35 for the year.
Winter Trails Day is made possible by a partnership between Minnesota DNR, REI, the National Park Service, Base Camp, Northern Star Council, BSA, Mississippi Park Connection, Wilderness Inquiry, The Loppet Foundation, and the U.S. Forest Service.
