 Hiking Club Trail #57 HIKE DETAILS Date: November 24, 2022 Location: Currie, MN Length: 1.0 Miles Difficulty: Very Easy Cumulative Hiking Club Miles: 157.6 of 197 Lake Shetek is the largest lake in South Western MN. The hike takes you out and around Loon Island. The trail is fully accessible with a nice wide packed gravel path the entire way. The easy hike was nice after hiking Camden earlier in the day. It was WINDY especially on the causeway that takes you out to the island. The lake is starting to freeze over - the dogs were able to walk out a few feet along the beach. Though the hike is short - it was nice to have a different kind of hike - water views the whole way. We heard some bird songs despite the wind. And there were fresh deer tracks going both ways down the causeway. The history of this park is interesting it had been inhabited as early as 900 AD. Would love to come back to this park if I am ever in the area

 Hiking Club Trail #56 HIKE DETAILS Date: November 24, 2022 Location: Lynd, MN Length: 2.4 Miles Difficulty: Easy Cumulative Hiking Club Miles: 156.6 of 197 Snow has been melting so the trails are icy and muddy. The beginning started out a little rough. Lot of small hills covered in ice on a very narrow path along the river. It was slow going with us questioning if we should keep going. Well good news it was only like that for a short time and soon the trail widened and turned away from the river. Woods, prairie and a couple of HUGE hills - mud was the only obstacle. Wind was cold. This park would be great in the summer - was quiet in the winter. Beautiful Thanksgiving hike. |
