Lake Brophy Park is a little-known jewel of a county park. It is host to events near Alexandria, Minnesota. In keeping with our goal of finding new places to hike in our region, this hike will be a fun addition. The park hosts a variety of activities, including almost 4 miles of hiking trails through prairie grasslands. The trail has lots of loops and hill vistas. You will be able to make a hike that fits your interests.
After the hike, we will gather for more stories and good food at Leaf Valley Merchantile Bar and Grill in Garfield, MN.
