In today's post I'll be sharing our afternoon trip to Crow Wing State Park by Brainerd, MN! It was fun to cross another state park off my list. It was a great to get out and enjoy the Spring sunshine despite it being very windy!
 |
| We did the Hiking Club trail whch was 2.2 miles. |
 |
| The beginning of the walk went through the old town site of Crow Wing. |
 |
| The Mississippi River & Crow Wing River come together here. |
 |
| The old town of Crow Wing sounded like quite the wild west place. There were 3 different missionary groups that came there - Catholic, Lutheran, and Episcopal. |
 |
| For the whole walk we were right along the Mississippi River. |
 |
| The first part of the walk followed the old "Oxcart Trail". |
 |
| Chippewa Lookout |

| Father Pierz Chapel |
This was a neat park with lots of interesting history! It is hard to imagine what it would have been like to live there overlooking the river so many years ago. It's pretty amazing!
