The snow is gone, the ground is thawed, and the birds are chirping in the freshly-budding trees; it’s springtime in St. Cloud! Finally the frigid temperatures of winter are gone and St. Cloud residents are ready to get out and about in the city. If you are looking to cure your cabin fever with some outdoor activities, here are a few options around the St. Cloud Area:

Parks- St. Cloud has an array of beautiful parks to choose from. For the flower lover, Munsinger Clemens Gardens never disappoints- especially in the springtime, when the plants and foliage are just beginning to bloom. For a family-friendly park alternative, Lake George comes equipped with a ½ mile walking path around the lake, picnic area, and playground- great for a fun day out for the whole family.

Disc Golf- Growing in popularity over the last decade, St. Cloud has two distinct disc golf courses: Riverside Park and Cavalry Park. As the name suggests, Riverside Park is located on the banks of the Mississippi River just south of St. Cloud State University campus. The park features rolling hills, trees, and scenic views. The winds blowing from the bluffs prove an added challenge to the game. Calvary Hill Park offers an alteration of open and tight shots and dual tees on most holes for all skill levels. For more information, visit the St. Cloud Disc Golf Club’s Facebook page.

Biking- Getting around town can be difficult during the frigid Minnesota winter. When the warm weather comes out again, so do the cyclists of the area. St. Cloud’s Beaver Island Trail follows the Mississippi River from St. Cloud State University for 2.5 miles. The trail carries on past excellent views of bluffs and the river.

Rox Baseball Game- For the sports fans out there, check out a St. Cloud Rox baseball game this spring! Tickets are available now on their website. The first game of the season is Saturday, May 30th hosting the Thunder Bay Border Cats.

Now that the winter weather is gone and Minnesota’s few precious months of beautiful weather are among us again, take advantage of a few activities around the St. Cloud area this spring. Whether it’s walking in a beautiful park, biking around town, or taking in a ball game, there are plenty of spring activities in the St, Cloud area.
