Mahtomedi Community Education

Walking has proven benefits for physical and mental health - and it's even better when the walk includes the Lake Links Trail and members of the community. Walks will typically be on Thursdays at 9 am. *All dates are subject to change and will be communicated via email to people who are registered. Walks will begin at the District Education Center and are typically 2 miles, with the option to shorten or extend the walk. The goal is to make the walk accessible for different levels of endurance. Routes may vary based on group preference and weather. Friendly dogs are welcome! Registration is required, but you do not have to commit to every week. *We are looking for someone to co-lead an afternoon walking group.
