Best places: Nature preserves in Little Canada, United States

Large preserve with hiking & cross-country skiing trails, plus a play area & orienteering course.

👍👍 A wonderful gem in the middle of the cities! We actually started at Central Park and walked the paths connecting each of the parks including the Arboretum. 5 miles including the boardwalk. Really great location and amenities.

Riverfront park on former industrial land with cliffs & wetlands teeming with birdlife & an apiary.

👍 A nice, small park and trail system. There is a parking lot, restroom and covered picnic tables. We usually go through here at the beginning and end of our walk or ride around Birch Lake.

👍👍 Well maintained paths through natural beauty! Walking quietly, see if you can see deer and owls! Just a block from where North Saint Paul borders Maplewood and Oakdale, where those communities also have some of their nature preserves almost bordering Southwood Nature Preserve!
