Winter enthusiasts aged 50 and up are gearing up for an adventure at Cleary Lake Regional Park, where snowshoeing is the order of the day - if Mother Nature cooperates, that is. On January 28, from 10:30 AM to noon, seasoned snowshoers or those new to the game can enjoy a refreshing trek accompanied by skilled instructors from the Outdoor Recreation School. Strap on those snowshoes and get ready to conquer the trails while enjoying the serene landscapes of a Minnesota winter.
The event's got a backup plan in case the white stuff is in short supply; hiking boots will replace snowshoes, and the adventure will still go on. At a pocket-friendly charge of $6, those interested will need to snag their slots in advance by dialing 763-559-6700 - and fast, because space is as precious in this outing as a warm cup of cocoa during a blizzard. According to a recent announcement from Scott County, there’s a sweet deal too: groups of four or more can snatch up a 20 percent discount, so rally the troops.
It's not just about strapping on gear and breaking a sweat out in the cold; this event is an opportunity to mingle with peers and create lasting winter memories. Let’s be clear, this isn't your typical Sunday brunch. It's a chance to breathe in the crisp winter air and sneak in a cardio session while you're at it.
For those unsure about navigating the snowy paths, fear not; these trails will be guided by the pros. They're equipped to not only show you the ropes but also to ensure you witness the beautiful sights and sounds that only a Minnesota winter can offer. And remember, as per Scott County's Civic Alerts, this event is only for the golden years gang - ages 50 and up, so leave the kids at home and enjoy an outing tailored just for you.
