The day after Thanksgiving is a free admission day at Washington County Parks. The outside crowd can have a more tranquil Black Friday experience surrounded by maples and pines while consumers compete for doorbuster bargains. The Parks Department is encouraging people to switch carts for paths, according to an announcement on its website. The day is known as the beginning of holiday shopping frenzy and typically sees businesses crowded with frantic shoppers.
Enjoy the natural beauty of #OptOutside and avoid the consumerism trap during this respite from the retail rush. Numerous self-guided activities are available, such as the paved, universally accessible Breathe and Be Hike in Cottage Grove Ravine Regional Park. The Spot the Gnome scavenger hunt in Lake Elmo Park Reserve may be a fun adventure for those who enjoy seeing creatures more ethereal than the typical woodland creature.
All ten county parks and regional trails offer free entry, so it’s not simply restricted to a few sites. There is something for everyone who choose to enjoy the cool weather in late November in Minnesota, with options ranging from hiking to cross-country skiing and from mountain biking to horseback riding. It’s important to note that alcohol is strictly prohibited on park property for those who prefer the more responsible side of recreation.
