Not the most beautiful road in the country but it was a pleasant drive. The lakes were nice,

Trail was in prime spring condition! Despite the recently downed limbs all around town due to a recent May snowstorm, the trail had already been cleared of debris. This is an extremely popular walking spot for locals.

Headed into the park to do some geocaching. Many downed limbs (some sizeable) blocking several portions of trail due to recent heavy May snowstorm. The northern most trail that skirts the lake is also very muddy and flooded in certain parts.

I found this to be a very beautiful hike. I started from the parking lot on the south side of the river and went east up the side of opposite bluff (you can follow my path via the 7.5 mile track I left). From there I stuck to the outermost portion of the trail and went north, looping all the way around and back south again to where I started. On the northern most portion of my hike I found a ceramic gnome sitting atop a fallen log just off the trail; obviously placed there to amuse observant hikers... It worked. :) I posted a picture of it.

After getting back to my starting point I went north over the bridge toward Historic Forestville, and then took an immediate left and headed up the trail that winds up the bluff to the lookout point. There you'll find a nice view and wooden deck with a bench for resting. After snapping a picture I headed back around and back down to the river.

Great day! Great hike! Great trail!

A wonderful trip. I went in August when the mosquitoes were still quite active. Next time maybe September would be better. I carried a good insect repellent but they seemed to like it. The blueberries were everywhere so I ate good.

Decently fun singletrack. Pretty flowy but has a lot of little baby trails that lead to no where so can be a bit confusing

Got on the trail in Royalton and road to Bowlus. There is still snow on the trail in several places so beware! Looking forward to returning in the summer.

I spent almost a week, canoeing, hiking and camping. I met two bears, lots of chipmonks, squirels, birds and mosquitoes. Oh yes, all the jokes about mosquitoes being the Minnesota state bird are well earned. The wild blueberries were in season when I was there so I had plenty of sh fruit to go with my dehydrated camping foods.

Very flat trail but still sorta fun. Lots of animals and just a nice relaxed ride.
