Lake Carlos State Park Candlelight Event

Dates

About

Come enjoy an evening in the park by candlelight and moonlight. Walk the trail where you will be guided by the full moon, candles and lanterns. Then come warm up by the wood stove or enjoy snacks and refreshments in the Lakeview warming shelter.

There is no cost for this event, but a Minnesota state parks vehicle permit is required to enter the park ($7/day or $35/year).

SAVE TIME! Get your vehicle permit in advance. Visit mndnr.gov/reservations, log in (or create an account), click on "entry permit," select a duration of "one-day" ($7) or "year-round" ($35), and continue as directed. You'll receive an email with a permit that can be printed and displayed in your vehicle during your visit.

If you are interested in volunteering with set-up, lighting or take-down of candles please call the park as well (320)993-3750.

***IMPORTANT*** This event will take place regardless of snow conditions, but the event may be canceled or changed at the last minute, due to poor weather or wind conditions on the day of the event. Please check the Lake Carlos web page or call the park for more information.
