Voyageurs National Park: Rainy Lake Recreation Trail

Just like yesterday, we decided for an adventure close to home. We headed over to the Rainy Lake Visitor Center for me do run a quick errand. We then got out the jogging stroller for a walk on the new Rainy Lake Recreation Trail.

The trail is pretty awesome. It is smooth, well-graded, and features lots of gentle twists and turns.

There are occasional views out to Black Bay.

This time of year it is a particularly nice walk because there are few insects out, the aspens are leafing out,

and flowers are starting to bloom. Among the flowers that we observed blooming were an unknown with white clusters

and marsh marigold.

We stopped at the Hike to Health sign

and, because we remembered to bring our book and a crayon, we got a rubbing of what Sierra called the "rubber".

We continued on the trail and stopped to read the interpretive signs.

At the end of the trail, near the park entrance, we took a family photo of ourselves at the sign.

Then we turned around and headed back to the car.
