9. Take a Hike

“I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.” –H. Thoreau.  Taking a hike in the woods is always fulfilling. Hiking enthusiasts can explore over 50 miles of great wooded hiking trails in the area! A few of our favorites include Lake Carlos State Park, Kensington Runestone Park, Glacial Lakes State Park, Spruce Hill Park and Lake Brophy Park. Happy trails!
