Lake Katherine Winter Hike

We'll go around Lake Katherine (easy, flat 1-mile loop) and then whoever wants can continue another mile or two on the Cal-Sag Trail (out and back). Great opportunity for new hikers, those who prefer a shorter distance, or those of us who don't want to spend too much time out in the cold! Nature center will be open to warm up and/or use the restroom. Optional coffee or brunch afterwards at Lumes Pancake House (just a few minutes away), lumespancakehouse.com, the Plush Horse Ice Cream | The Plush Horse | United States or elsewhere. Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens is an 85-acre park that includes woodlands, prairie, wetlands, and a 10-acre lake. More info at:

Recommend traction devices (yak trax or similar) or trek poles if conditions are snowy/slippery.
