*** More details coming ***
This is great park for some holiday week exercise. The terrain is glacially modified – that means the hills are not as steep as some of our other large parks – and there’s a beautiful lake nearby.
Family and friends in town? Take them orienteering! Or let them do a scenic fall color hike…while you’re out looking for checkpoints.
*** Permit in progress – check back to make sure all is good ***

Time: Start anytime between 10:00 am & Noon. Course closes 3:00 pm.

Meet Director: Robert Bart
Sorry, we had a bit of shuffling of locations for this event. We now have the Leaf Pavilion reserved at Laumeier Sculpture Park. It’s Halloween and what better location to celebrate than with the whimsical scenery at the Sculpture Park. Mixing nature and art, it’s the perfect combination to celebrate the Fall season. The Bart family hasn’t put on an event in a few years, we’re super excited that they’ve agreed to host this event. Come out and get some steps in before your evening activities!
Courses: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced.
