Glendalough State Park Candlelight Hike

Dates

About

Come out to Glendalough State Park on Valentine's Day, Saturday, February 14th, between 6:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. to enjoy a lantern lit path through the woods! A mile of trail will be illuminated by lanterns and an almost-full moon. The trail starts at the Dining Hall and is suitable for beginner-level hikers and snowshoers of all ages. The evening wraps up with a cup of hot cider near a crackling bonfire. Snowshoes can be rented in-person at the park, after 10:00 a.m. on the day of the event, while supplies last. 
SAVE TIME: Get a vehicle permit online before you go.
A vehicle permit is required to enter Minnesota state parks and recreation areas. The DNR recommends buying permits in advance at the state park vehicle permit website (mndnr.gov/permit). The cost is $7 per day, or $35 for a year-round permit.
