Candlelight hike at Sakatah Lake State Park Feb. 8

The Department of Natural Resources will host more than 30 candlelight events at Minnesota State Parks and trails this winter, including one at Sakatah Lake State Park this Saturday, Feb. 8. Drop by any time between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. for hiking as stars twinkle overhead and candles flicker in the snow.
“Few things transform a winter evening like soft light on snow,” said Erika Rivers, director of the DNR’s Parks and Trails Division. “Candles and lanterns help to create a magical experience, especially when coupled with light from the moon and a starry sky.”
The 1.5-mile trail through the forest is suitable for beginner-level hikers of all ages.
The evening wraps up with a treat near a crackling bonfire.
