We are in need of additional active board members to help manage the Lake Wobegon Trails Association. I have been involved with the association since the early 2000s and plan to retire by November 15th, 2024.

We are a great organization! The organization’s mission is to promote the Lake Wobegon Trails, the communities and businesses along the trails and to support Stearns County Parks in their efforts to maintain and improve the trails.

We have 3 successful events that have been around for a long time. The Caramel Roll Ride has been around for 25 years, and the Lady Slipper Nature Ride and the Caramel Apple Rides have been around for 13 years each. Please check it out and see how you can be a part of the trails association.

Jan says they will have the BEST rest stop for this year's Caramel Roll Ride ... check it out and see if he made good on his promise. You'll also find fresh made brats cooked to perfection here for small price ... proceeds go to maintain technology for the Central Minnesota Bike Club.
