Happy Trails

Prairie Woods maintains approximately 10 km of trails over rolling glacial terrain, through woods, and prairies, near ponds and wetlands. The trail network covers much of PWELC’s 560 acres.

Equipment Rental Pricing

Equipment rentals are available by reservation only. Please call at least 24 hours in advance. For weekend rentals, please contact us at 320-354-5894 by noon on Friday. Note that the trailhead is located in the lower level of the main education building, and we do not maintain regular hours there.

Student rentals are available for $5 to all students from pre-K through college.

A $30 damage deposit is required for off-site use of skis and snowshoes, which is fully refundable upon the return of the equipment. For full weekend rentals, you can pick up the equipment on Friday afternoon and return it Monday morning.
