DUE TO THE PREDICTED GREATER THAN -20 WIND-CHILL VALUES AND POOR TRAIL CONDITIONS, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED – PLAN FOR OUR NEXT EVENT ON FEBRUARY 17TH. 

Come enjoy a winter evening in the park. 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.

**This event will be a hike at this time due to snow conditions. It is Minnesota, so please dress appropriately. Good traction footwear or ice cleats are helpful for uneven ground and hills. The trail for this event will be a special section lit for this event only as our regular summer hiking trails designated cross-country ski trails.

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)852-7200

***IMPORTANT*** This event will take place regardless of snow conditions other than in the event or bad weather. In that case, 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.
