The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has developed a Hiking Club program that features a trail in each of its 68 state parks and recreational areas (https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/clubs.html). Sometimes the trailhead for these hikes can be tricky to find, so here is the trailhead for the Itasca State Park Hiking Club trail. There is a marker with a password somewhere along the length of the trail, but I am not going to reveal that. You have to find it yourself!

The picnic area is a great spot from which to access the trails in Shingobee Recreation Area. For winter activities, the parking lot a hlaf mile up the road offers better access to the sledding hill and chalet. The word "Shingobee" translates to the Ojibwe word for local pine, cedar and spruce trees.

Hikers are treated to a view of Recreation Lake. This view is especially pretty in the fall when the leaves change color.

The Shingobee Recreation Area is a great spot for hiking, snowshoeing, and skiing. Public restrooms are available. If you come here for a winter hike with kids consider bringing a sled for the sledding hill! The warming chalet is open for winter activities, though it may be temporarily closed for Covid.

A rest area for backpackers and through hikers.

A memorial to Henry Jennings Crockett.

The bridge provides hikers with a beautiful swampy vista from the center of a three-way creek system. The names "Anoway Lake" and "Anway Lake" are used interchangeably.

The North Country Trail runs 4,800 miles from the Appalachian Trail in Vermont to North Dakota. The goal of the trail is to eventually link the Appalachian Trail with the Pacific Crest Trail, making it the longest trail in the country.
