Can you help?

For nearly 25 years, the Lake Wobegon Trais Association has supported the growth and development of the Wobegon Trail. That includes organizing the Caramel Roll Ride, The Lady Slipper ride and The Caramel Apple Ride each year. Organizers have worked tirelessly to build these events that continue to draw in participants from all over the state, and the time has come for the current operators to take a step back from running these events. We are actively seeking someone to take over the planning and ex*****on of these rides for 2025.

If you have any interest in event planning, cycling, or simply continuing the legacy of these events, please reach out to [email protected]. Help continue the legacy and growth of our amazing trail for generations to come!

It’s a must-see for your next trip to southwestern Minnesota. These pictographs are considered sacred, so we don’t have pictures. You’ll have to come experience these 7000-year old stone carvings for yourself. #minnesotahistory

Minnesota Trails is a quarterly outdoor magazine featuring Minnesota’s parks, trails and rivers.

Our purpose is to guide you to new adventures by telling the story of those who use, manage and support these special places.

We publish four full-color issues a year in the spring, summer, fall and winter and distribute them all over Minnesota. Our readers enjoy the features, guides and event calendars inside each issue. Minnesota Trails is also available online.

We’re the official publication of the Parks & Trails Council of Minnesota, a non-profit organization that acquires, protects and enhances critical lands for public enjoyment. Your affordable, annual membership in the Parks & Trails Council supports their important work and we’ll send Minnesota Trails directly to you.
