Bird Hike at Lake Elmo Park Reserve

Join the ranks of 47 million birders in the U.S. Whether you’re new or experienced, these hikes are a great way to get outdoors, listen to the sounds of nature, and learn to identify the birds that call the St. Croix Valley home. Participants have the opportunity to contribute to citizen science data collection by completing bird count surveys. The surveys collected will assist our Natural Resources team in conjunction with the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Fund grant.

Dress for the weather.

We recommend bringing your binoculars, water, snacks and wear winter hiking shoes or boots.

Program is open to all ages, but children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
