Baker Near-Wilderness Settlement ThreeRiversParks |
|||
About
Uploaded on Aug 9, 2010 It's like getting out of town without actually leaving. Just 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, the Baker Near-Wilderness Settlement is a rustic residential center situated within Baker Park Reserve. Here, guests can reconnect with nature and explore the outdoors. The Settlement features eight cabins, the expansive William M. Baker Lodge, miles of trails, many natural habitats, nature classes, and hands-on activities. Each cabin has eight beds, a wood stove and a nearby cooking pad with a grill and seating area. The log lodge features a meeting and activity room that seats up to 120 people lecture-style and up to 80 for meals, a large stone fireplace, wrap-around porch, modern restrooms, and an institutional kitchen. Hours: Scheduled Visits Only Phone: 763.694.7856 Address: http://www.threeriversparks.org/parks/baker-park/baker-near-wilderness.aspx |

About
Published on Jan 12, 2013 Winter overnight with my school at Baker Park in Medina, Minnesota. We did end up going on that night hike, and my knee was apparently bleeding from when I slipped and fell. Fun Stuff! |
