There's a chill in the air and the amount of sunlight is lessening each day. This time of year, it's tempting to avoid the darkness by staying indoors, but at Three Rivers we offer lighted trails at several park locations to help you stay active and enjoy the outdoors in our less-bright seasons.

Until the snow flies and sticks, trails are lit for hikers from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m. at Cleary Lake Regional Park, Elm Creek Park Reserve, French Regional Park and Hyland Lake Park Reserve.
