Candlelight Walk (MN DNR)
Battle Lake, MN – Minnesota state parks and trails will host candlelight events across the state this winter, including one at Glendalough State Park on Saturday, February 14th. Hikers can drop by any time between 6:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. for hiking and snowshoeing as stars twinkle overhead and lanterns flicker in the snow.
Minnesota DNR Director of Parks and Trails Ann Pierce says winter candlelight events are a magical way to experience Minnesota’s state parks and trails, “There’s something truly special about walking a snowy trail under the glow of candlelight, where the quiet of the night and the sparkle of the snow create a peaceful escape. It’s a chance to slow down, connect with nature, spend time with friends and family and find beauty in the stillness of winter.”
The one-mile trail starts at the Dining Hall and is suitable for beginner-level hikers and snowshoers of all ages. Snowshoes can be rented in person at the park, after 10:00 a.m. on the day of the event, while supplies last.
