The sumac is turning red, acorns have begun to fall and the days are cooler – what could be a better activity than jumping on a bike and tour the Lake Wobegon Trail?

“The Lake Wobegon  Trail® is a very scenic ride going through wooded areas, plains, near lakes and ponds, and through the towns along the way.  You may see various forms of wildlife while using the trail.  People have seen rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels, ducks, geese and even deer along the trail.”

A  great outdoors activity for the whole family and just a few miles from St. Cloud.   For more information check out their web site: www.lakewobegontrails.com
