We’ll hike 3.35 miles on a paved loop trail around lovely Cleary Lake. Approximately 2- 1/2 hours, an average to leisurely pace or break up into like-minded groups. Leashed dogs & strollers welcome. The trail should be clear except 3 short distances where cross country ski trails intersect. We’ll check out new beaver activity, possibly hear Barred owls, but most animals have hunkered down. Dress appropriately for warmish weather, bring a water bottle. The visitor center has flush toilets, 1 or possibly a 2nd open vault toilets on the trail. Non-members please sign waiver below. Park in 1st parking lot on right at entrance. Meet on front steps of Visitor Center. We’ll hike clockwise. I’ll be wearing a dark purple hat, black coat/vest. Possibly gather afterwards for coffee/hot chocolate at nearby Dunn Brothers afterwards. Let me know if you’re coming/lost/running late. Lori Rathjen [email protected]
