| Franz Jevne State Park: Minnesota DNR |
| Hiking Club Miles: 1.3 |
| Miles Earned On: 04/04/15 |
| Critter Card Found On: 05/28/11 |
| Geocaching notes: Quick find. Lots of weird white flying bugs on the day we visited. |
| Bird Card Found On: 06/23/13 |
| Hiking notes: The road to the start of the trail in the campground was closed. Also, the trails were extremely icy. We wouldn't recommend visiting this park until they open the campground, as that would allow you to start in the proper spot and the trails will be in better condition. The ice was so treacherous that it took us over 2 hours to complete this one. We should have turned around, but we thought it would get better once the trail was away from the river. No such luck. And at that point, it seemed just as difficult to go back as it was to go forward. |

Road to campground (and start of trail). As it was closed, we had to walk it.

Rainy River
Don't be deceived, that's all ice.

And the ice conditions worsen. We have to traverse this lake of ice and then go up an icy hill.

This sign had fallen on the ground. Luckily Chris spotted it.
And the ice returns.

Almost done.
We still have to walk down the road to the car.
