Are you looking for a splash of fun combined with a dash of historical sport this weekend? Scott County's Cleary Lake Regional Park is calling all adventurers to step onto the floating log and try to stay upright. Those looking to venture back to the days of the logging era can join the Outdoor Recreation School instructors on August 10, from 1 PM to 2:30 PM, for an engaging session of log rolling. Whether you're a newbie to the sport or simply seeking some outdoor enjoyment, this event promises to deliver a unique experience.
With no previous experience required, attendees are invited to quickly learn and then test their balance against fellow participants in a friendly and wet competition. The event is open to individuals aged five and up, making it a family-friendly activity, although children 11 and under must have an adult accomplice at their side. Reservations are a must and need to be made two days prior, at a reasonable cost of $6. For all you social creatures out there looking to roll in groups, snag a 20 percent discount for parties of four or more.
For those interested in participating, you can secure your spot by calling 763-559-6700. As reported by the Scott County website, the park staff ensures that safety is a top priority and all necessary precautions are in place to have a safe, yet exhilarating experience. Remember to book your reservation by August 8th to ensure you can partake in this centuries-old tradition with a modern twist.
Sure, there are more conventional ways to enjoy the great outdoors, but none quite so literally buoyant. So, don't be afraid to throw caution to the wind, or in this case, the water, and challenge yourself to quickly adapt to this age-old lumberjack skill. If you've been searching for an afternoon that combines history with fitness and fun, look no further. Gather your friends, your family, or even go it alone—just be ready to log-roll your way to an unforgettable Sunday.
