Winter in Minnesota is made for adventure, and one of the best places to experience it is right here in Bloomington. The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, 3815 American Blvd. E., invites residents to explore its snowy trails on snowshoes and enjoy fresh air, exercise and beautiful winter scenery.
No snowshoes? No problem. When at least six inches of snow is on the ground, visitors can borrow adult or child-sized snowshoes for free at the Refuge Education and Visitor Center.
The refuge also offers family-friendly programs that make winter exploration fun and accessible for all ages. From spotting wildlife to following crisp tracks in the snow, every visit promises something new.
Embrace the season and discover the magic of winter, right in your own backyard. Visit blm.mn/snowshoe for details and maps.
