2022 07 24 - Colby Park - Woodbury MN

Picture: (a little blurry?) Park trail.

From the street to street, this park is 1.2 miles long, via the street. The path isn't straight so it could be a little longer.

Looking online it looks like the path keeps going north into Tamarack Park off road. We have a short distance of that hike years ago. Almost all of the trails in Woodbury are paved and I don't know of any area in the city that has a major elevation change that would be noticeable to someone walking.

We have shorten our walking so we just go out and back. We used to walk around the lake but that would make this an hour plus walk for us, at our speed. And we are pretty much doing about half hour walks right now.

The north and south ends of this trail are in parks. The distance part runs along the lake where there is 20-30 feet on each side of the trail of 'nature.' Beyond that is the lake on one side and houses on the other side.

Woodbury is a 'new' city so it was built with a lot of parks and trails. Not sure why we keep coming back to this one instead of mixing things up. They are all free.

Picture: This is the end of July. The trees, especially those that were transplanted, are really having issues with this years lack of rain and high temps.
