Snowy Forest, Devil's Lake State Park

Being out in nature can make us feel relaxed. The sounds of the forest, the scent of the leaves, the sunlight playing through the branches – these things ease our stress and help us relax and think more clearly. Join naturalist, Sue Johansen for the Japanese practice of forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku and spend the morning on a relaxing walk on one of the forested trails at Devil’s Lake. You’ll hike the Tumbled Rock Trail, enjoying the sounds, smells, and sights this lakeside, forested trail has to offer.

When

Saturday, November 23 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Meet at the Devil’s Lake State Park North Shore Visitor Center
(This hike is for adults)
