We will be leading a hike/walk starting at 11:30 on Thursday, March 26, starting from Starting Lake Eden Prairie Outdoor Center at 13765 Staring Lake Pkwy, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55347

There are no restrooms at this parking lot location, so stop elsewhere before arriving as needed.
This will be about a 3.7 mile flat walk/hike, along Purgatory Creek, and around its Nature Area;
mostly tar trails, with some gravel firm-pack trail, and two bridges, one made of boards.

Dogs are allowed if kept on a non-retractable 6-foot leash, per city ordinances; and owners must clean up after their pets.

The frost is in/out of the ground with the warm temperatures lately, so it could be muddy on the short gravel section.
We will be wearing hiking boots (although tennies should be fine) and walking/hiking at a casual/relaxed pace.  
May want to bring binoculars, as there could be many migrating birds to be seen.

Optional lunch is after the hike, at FatPants Brewing & Eatery, 8335 Crystal View Rd, Eden Prairie, MN 55344
