Best Place to Go Sledding – Columbia Golf Course

Note: The MPRB recognizes that sledding occurs at other parks on an “at your own risk” basis. While some parks are more sled-friendly than others, please exercise caution when using these non-designated sledding areas; never sled toward traffic and avoid hills with trees nearby.

Snowshoeing


MPRB Naturalist-led snowshoeing programs are available throughout the winter at such venues as Minnehaha Park, Lake Calhoun and Theodore Wirth Park. The naturalist programs provide snowshoes as part of the fees. Call 612-313-7725 for more information.

If you’re snowshoeing on your own, the Wirth Off-Road Cycling Course has some of the best trails. Snowshoe rentals ($10) are available at the Theodore Wirth Chalet; call 763-522-4584.
