Get ready to trek through an outdoor library, nature lovers. Eastman Nature Center has put a new spin on the hiking experience with its March Story Trail. Visitors get to enjoy the children's book "Grandpa Alan's Sugar Shack" by Alan Page as they meander along the Sumac Trail, where the story is displayed on posts #3-11, turning a casual hike into an interactive reading session, according to the City of Maple Grove, MN - Local Government.

It's not every day that you get to combine fitness with literacy. The story trail, located in the lush environs of the Eastman Nature Center, adds a delightful twist to this month's featured story. As if the story wasn’t a sweet enough deal, the Center's also offering a maple syrup season scavenger hunt for families looking to add adventure to their visit. This addition was confirmed by the City of Maple Grove, MN - Local Government from the Three Rivers Park District.
