Luce Line State Trail Candlelight Hike

Minnesota state parks and trails will host candlelight events across the state this winter, including one on the Luce Line State Trail in Plymouth on January 3. Drop by any time between 5-8 p.m. to hike, ski or snowshoe (weather dependent) as stars twinkle overhead and candles flicker in the snow.

“Winter candlelight events are a magical way to experience Minnesota’s state parks and trails,” said Ann Pierce, director of Parks and Trails at the Minnesota DNR. “There’s something truly special about walking a snowy trail under the glow of candlelight, where the quiet of the night and the sparkle of the snow create a peaceful escape. It’s a chance to slow down, connect with nature, spend time with friends and family and find beauty in the stillness of winter.”

The two-mile, out-and-back trek starts at Gleason Lake Elementary School (210 County Rd. 101, Plymouth) and extends to Vicksburg Lane. This event is suitable for all ages, and refreshments will be available at the Vicksburg Lane end of the trail.
