Description
Itasca's 9th Annual Autumn Harvest Festival and Lantern lit Hike: Making Itasca Memories.
“Making Memories” is this year’s theme for our lantern lit hike. Guides with lanterns will lead you down the kerosene lantern-lit trail as we walk through the photo album of Itasca’s past.
Pictures will come to life as you meet characters that will share stories about recreating in Itasca State Park during this family-friendly evening hike. Group hikes will last about 30 minutes, departing every ten minutes from the Jacob V. Brower Visitor Center. Registration for hikes begins at 6 p.m. The first hike leaves at 6:30 p.m. and the last hike will begin at 8:10 p.m. Suitable for all ages! Hike length is approximately one-half mile. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Other activities will be ongoing, including music and a variety of children’s activities. Bring your own picture of recreating in Itasca State Park to pin onto the Itasca Memories board! Be a part of “Making Itasca Memories”!
More details will be available closer to the date.
Notes: Dress for being outdoors in autumn. You are welcome to bring a flashlight during the hike, but are asked to keep it pointed at the ground.
This is the ninth of 12 hikes to be held as we celebrate 125 years of Minnesota State Parks and Trails and 100 years of the National Park Service. This event is sponsored by both Itasca State Park and the Itasca Moraine and Laurentian Lakes Chapters of the National North Country Trail.
