River Falls SLOW WALK and Socializing

Start where you are. Move as you can. You're in.

SLOW WALK is a walking and hiking group for queer folks, BIPOC, and allies of every size, ability, and fitness level. Our purpose is to get outside, enjoy each other's company, and take in beautiful sights!

Join us for a SLOW WALK road trip (I promise it's worth the drive!) to River Falls, WI!

We'll do a short 1-2 mile walk along the Kinnickinnic River near downtown River Falls and then socializing at the lovely D&D-themed coffee shop Waystone Coffee Co. afterwards.

In addition: there is a WONDERFUL little progressive book and gift shop called Fox Den Books across the street that people can check out before heading home (putting this last on the itinerary so folks can browse without feeling rushed).

Park at 374 S Winter St, River Falls, WI 54022 (this is the parking lot for Family Fresh groceries - please park at the back of the lot closest to the intersection) and look for the person with the lilac handkerchief tied to a walking stick to gather.

We'll start the walk at 10:15 a.m. and will be maintaining a slow, steady pace for approximately 2 miles along the river path and around a small lake. This is a smooth, paved path.

Some things to know:
*There's no entry fee for this park. Please do not leave anything in your car and lock your doors while we're on our walk.
*Plan on meeting at the back corner of the parking lot near the intersection - look for the lilac handkerchief tied to my walking stick so we can gather in a group.
*Dress appropriately for the weather and your comfort.
*Pets are welcome ***for the walk***, as long as they remain on a leash or in a stroller. I'm unsure if they are allowed in the local businesses, so please be conscientious! The pet owner is responsible for poop clean-up and disposal. Please ask before allowing your pet to greet others - some folks might not be comfortable with new pets.
