Tony Schmidt Park, Arden Hills, Minnesota
Once again, snow is in the forecast and I am trying to get all my errands done while the roads are still clear. My three errands are all in Roseville, MN. I chose locations as close together as possible to use less gas. Two errands are done. The third errand is to pick up a hiking hat I ordered online as a gift to myself. It is not ready to be picked up yet. Langton Lake Park is only two blocks away and would be a lovely walk. I could just keep walking loops around the small lake until the notification email comes in. This would be a great plan except for my bladder. The older I get, the more I need to take this into consideration. Correct me if I am wrong, but I do not think any Roseville parks have pit toilets or restrooms. Arden Hills, however, understands. The closest Arden Hills park with trails is Tony Schmidt park on the shores of Lake Johanna. Have I already written a post on this park? I must have…I know I have photos…checking….huh. Not yet… Well, here we go!

Priory Neighborhood Preserve, Maplewood
A refuge for wildlife and a refuge for a seeker of solitude. That is what I found here. The trails are natural and not maintained in winter which means that if you are the first to enter after a snowfall, it is up to you to blaze the trail. I love that.

Langton Lake Park, Roseville, Minnesota
This is a small park with a paved trail that loops around a small lake. The loop is only .6 miles (1 km). There is a spur trail that is about .5 miles. The last time I was here, I had a few hours to wait for my car to have work done. I made 3 loops around the lake and went out the end of the spur trail and back.
