Meet the group in the parking lot by the stairs down to the beach. There are no restrooms for the winter season, instead use a service station or restaurant along the way before driving to the starting parking lot.
There is a little of everything, starting on tar trail, then firm-pack gravel trail, some well-trod grassland, and a couple of small lakes. There are a few very steep hill climbs, we will regroup at the top of each hill.
The frost is in/out of the ground, so it could be muddy or slippery in spots. We will be wearing hiking boots (not tennies) and walking/hiking at a casual/relaxed "C" pace to keep the group together. May want to bring walking/hiking poles especially for the hills.

Pets are allowed if kept on a non-retractable 6-foot leash, and owners must clean up after their pets.
Optional lunch afterward at Scoreboard Bar & Grill at 5765 Sanibel Dr, Minnetonka, MN 55343.
