Looking for a splash of nostalgia with a twist of outdoor recreation? Cleary Lake Regional Park is calling all young adventurers to step out of the pool and onto the log with their latest offering: KidSplash Log Rolling. On Friday, August 2, from 1–2:30 PM, outdoor enthusiasts aged 10 to 15 are invited to take a turn—or several—atop a floating log, taking cues from the days when lumberjacks ruled the Midwest waterways. Scott County's announcement says no prior log-rolling skills are needed to join the fun.

The event promises a blend of history and heart-racing excitement, as participants learn the ropes of this traditional sport under the guidance of the Outdoor Recreation School instructors. It’s a chance not just to learn, but also to "compete" against fellow beginners in friendly bouts of balance and agility. Those interested should note that a place on the log comes with a small fee—$6—and reservations must be secured two days before the event, according to Scott County Minnesota.

For aspiring log rollers eager to secure their spot, reservations can be made by calling 763-559-6700, as outlined by the county's website.
