Bob and I got back in the car today to explore a few of Waconia’s highlights. First, we drove a short 8 minutes to Lisle Park, which is the closest trailhead to us for the Dakota Rail Trail, a 28 mile paved trail that I’m hoping to do a long run on on Saturday. We checked out just a small part of it today.
After our perusal of the Dakota Rail Trail, we drove to the Carver Park Preserve to check out some trails there. This is a large park with a nature center, historic farm house, bird sanctuary, and archery range.
Later this afternoon, we visited one of the many wineries in the area.
