Candlelight Hike Event

December 30, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm CST

Free

Come enjoy an evening in the park by candlelight and moonlight. Walk the trail where you will be guided by the full moon and lanterns. Then come warm up by one of the fires with a cup of apple cider and cookies. This event will be a hike at this time due to snow conditions. The trail will be an out and back lit trail with a total distance of 1.4 miles round trip.
*The trail for this event will be a special section lit for this event only as our regular hiking trails are all groomed ski trails and are closed for the season to all people and pets, except those on skis. Please stay off groomed ski trails at all times unless skiing.
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.
Additional upcoming candlelight events at Lake Carlos State Park this winter include January 20th from 6-9pm, February 17th from 6-9pm, and if conditions allow the final event of the season will take place on March 16th from 7-9pm.
***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.
