BEMIDJI-A candlelight snowshoe or hike event originally scheduled for Saturday at Lake Bemidji State Park has been rescheduled to Friday, Feb. 15 because of extreme cold weather, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said Friday.
Drop by any time between 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. during the rescheduled event for snowshoeing or hiking as stars twinkle overhead and candles flicker in the snow.
The 1.5-mile trail starts at the visitor center and is suitable for beginner-level snowshoers or hikers of all ages. Snowshoes can be rented or checked out at the park on a first-come, first-served basis. Call (218) 308-2300 in advance to confirm the availability of equipment.
The evening will wrap up with a cup of hot cocoa or cider near a crackling bonfire.
A vehicle permit is required to enter Minnesota state parks.
