Canfield Creek Crossing (Private Land)
Highlight • River
They had to remove the bridge over the creek because it's on private land. The bridge is still here, it's just pushed aside. I brought flipflops in my backpack to switch to for the crossing, because it was way up my calves at points. On a hot day the cool water felt great. If it weren't for all the bugs in the forest it would have been nice to go get a chair and come relax with my feet in the water.

Trailhead of the Forestville State Park Hiking Club Trail
Highlight • Trail
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 (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 Forestville 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!
