• Crow-Hassan Park Reserve

  

  Many miles of trails through woods and prairie are what you will find here. Bring your dog, but not your bike. These trails are shared between hikers and horseback riders. I’m no expert on horse or bikes, but I imagine it would be best to keep those two types of trail users separate.

• Crow-Hassan Dog Off-Leash Area

  

  40 acres of packed earth trails through woods and open prairie is only a short drive northwest of Minneapolis. Crow-Hassan Dog Off-Leash Area was designed for people with dogs and I own zero dogs. Still, I enjoy being in the same space as dogs. Each dog and their human is a unique pair.

• Coon Rapids Dam: East

  

  The most important focal point today is that I want to enjoy the beautiful weather. All other tasks and goals are pushed aside, just for a little while. To be honest, I do want to see if I can cover every Trail. For some reason that is a goal that appeals to me today and why not. My reward will be the map my phone creates as it records where I have been.

• Springbrook Nature Center

  

  This park has been the place I go to recharge when I have time between appointments in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis. Walking all the trails adds up to about 3 miles (5 km).

• Rice Creek Trail North

  

  Found a trail that is new to me since I was last here. I was glad to have extra traction on my boots because it was icy. The oak branches are what captured my attention this time.
