Join Winneshiek County Conservation for the Friluftsliv Family Hike at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, July 24^th at Phelps Park! We’ll meet at the Larsen Fountain on the west side of the road (Park St.) and continue through the wooded area. As we walk, naturalist Becca will talk about Iowa’s forests and woodland creatures.

No registration is required for this event. All ages are welcome. The trails are unpaved and may be muddy with slight inclines. Dress appropriately for the weather. Please arrive at the park early so that the hike may start promptly at 10:00 a.m. In case of severe weather, the hike will be cancelled. Keep an eye on our website and Facebook for updates.

“Friluftsliv,” a Norwegian term meaning “outdoor life,” is a style of outdoor living that encourages harmony with nature and enjoyment of the outdoors in a responsible and respectful way. Join us in taking care of our natural resources as we celebrate Nordic Fest 2025!
