Five Senses Snowshoe Hike

Go stomping through the snow at Minneopa State Park on a Five Senses Snowshoe Hike.  Starting at 7 p.m., we will go for a hike through the woods and along the Minneopa Creek Valley down to the confluence with the Minnesota River using no artificial light source. 

On the route we will stop a number of times to talk about how we use our five difference senses (hearing, sight, taste, touch and smell).  We will be out for around an hour and please dress appropriately for cold temperatures.

Night presents a whole new world to most of us.  Very few of us spend extended periods of time in the dark and some people may even become fearful of the night.  As humans we are constantly trying to reduce the fun of being outside after dark.

Please meet at the picnic area on the campground site of Minneopa State Park.  Snowshoes can be rented at Minneopa State Park by calling 507-233-9800 or stopping off at the office.  If there isn’t enough snow it will become a hike.

There is no charge to attend this event, but vehicles are required to have a permit ($5 daily or $25 year-round) which can be purchased at the park.
