Theodore Wirth Park hike
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 9:30am
Meet at the Wirth Beach Club (not the Theodore Wirth Trailhead Building)
The April 6 hike returns to Theodore Wirth Park for an encore to our February hike. Join hike leader Michael Luxenberg and fellow UMRA members to celebrate the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.
We will hike about four miles in about two hours. We will hike along the Rose Garden Trail(but not in the garden which won’t be open until April 15) then around the Quaking Bog Trail Loop, and finally around the Wirth Lake Loop which will take us right back to the Wirth Beach Club.
Although some of the trails are multi-use, including bikes, on a Monday morning we should have the trails mostly to ourselves. Most of the trails are considered easy, some are on paved trails and others are unpaved but very little up and downs.
Theodore Wirth Park is on the western edge of Minneapolis, bordering Golden Valley. We will meet at The Wirth Beach Club free parking lot at 9:20 a.m. to start the hike at 9:30. After the hike, if it is warm enough we can have some snacks at the benches outside.
Please register for this hike by April 5. Your registration information will be used to be sure everyone has arrived before we start the hike.
—Michael Luxenberg, UMRA Hiking Club co-leader
