About

The Winter Solstice Walk will bring some light and cheer to the longest night of the year. The trail will be lit at 5:30 pm and glow until 8 pm. This is a special way to experience the beauty of a riverfront park in December. Pre-registration is not required.

Choose your own adventure: Walk the illuminated paths as many times as you want! The short loop is about a half mile, the longer loop is about a mile. After your walk, warm up by the fireplace! A map will be posted soon on River Keepers Facebook event page. 

Be sure to check out the small shelter some time during your adventure:

  • Make your own glow in the dark necklace provided by River Keepers.
  • Buy a festive headband that lights up to help support the event.
  • River Keepers information
  • ND Health and Human Services will be serving up hot chocolate while supplies last!

Things to consider:

  • Carpoool!
  • Bring your friends and family.
  • Dress for the weather.
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes.
  • Walking sticks are good for winter walking but not necessary.
  • Welcome to bring festive lighted necklaces and/or hats!
