About this adventure
Covering almost 2,000 pristine acres of glacial lakes, rolling hills, and dense hardwood forests, Lebanon Hills Regional Park is Dakota County's flagship winter wilderness destination. The park maintains over 14 miles of groomed cross-country ski trails, dedicated winter snowshoe paths, and a cleared ice skating area on Schulze Lake. The eco-friendly Schulze Lake Visitor Center serves as a warm haven, featuring stone fireplaces, clean restrooms, trail maps, and affordable rental gear including youth and adult snowshoes, cross-country skis, and kicksleds. Throughout winter, the park hosts popular Candlelight Trails nights, where miles of wooded lakeside trails are illuminated by hundreds of glowing luminaries with crackling bonfires and hot cider.
