Spring Wildflower Walk

The purpose of this 2-mile moderate walk is to discover the many beautiful flowers of Jay Cooke State Park and how they survive the varied weather of spring. The majority of the walk is flat. There are rocks and hills to climb in the beginning to access the trail, but the group will take it slow. Meet at the River Inn Interpretive Center.

All naturalist programs at Jay Cooke State Park are free, but a Minnesota State Park vehicle permit is needed to park a vehicle in the park. Permits can be purchased upon arrival. The cost is $7 for a single day or $35 for a year. There are reduced price options for disabled veterans, Minnesota Tribal members and others, or if needed a pass can be checked out at some participating libraries.

All programs require registration due to limited space. Call 218-673-7005 or email kris.hiller @ state.mn.us with your name and total number of people in your group.
