Lantern Light Event at Itasca State Park
February 15 @ 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Join us for the Annual Lantern Light Event at Itasca State Park! Bundle up and enjoy a magical evening as you walk, snowshoe, or ski along a 3.5-mile lantern-lit trail beneath the stars, winding through towering pines. Go at your own pace on this well-defined path with minimal elevation change, and adjust the distance to fit your comfort level. Warm up by the crackling campfire at the trailhead—perfect for roasting a snack—then head inside the Jacob V. Brower Visitor Center for refreshments and music. If the snowpack allows, snowshoe and ski rentals will be available through Itasca Sports at the Forest Inn near Douglas Lodge while supplies last. And why not make a weekend of it? Winter camping and lodging are available, giving you even more time to explore! Don’t miss this unforgettable winter adventure!
