Woodland Trails Regional Park

This is a great trail park to take walks. I give it four stars though, because there is no playground for kids to play, and the wood logs that they have set up for kids to jump around are not safe and I have seen kids fall and get hurt. That aside, there's a nice covered shelter there, the trails are nice and clean and paved, they have plenty of maps everywhere along the trails and the nature is beautiful.

Newly opened FREE regional park just north of the Elk River Golf Club, is 427 acres of dense woods, prairies & wetlands. It is called the crown jewel of Elk River Park system (with good reason). This park offers: archery & biathlon ranges, cross country skiing trails, paved & grass trails, picnic tables, benches, and the Glacial Ridge Nature Play Area (fort building sticks, log balance beam, boulder scramble, log climbing, tunnels, benches and water pump feature). We took an evening hike with the Elk River Park & Rec Department and explored a nice trail. They arranged to have a demonstration of the Biathlon at the shooting range.
