Lantern Lit HIke - Independence Lake County Park

Independence Lake County Park keeps lantern-lit hikes simple and social. A roughly one-mile loop winds through the woods, with the exact route adapting to winter conditions. After the self-guided walk, everyone gravitates toward the pavilion for a campfire and treats. It’s an easygoing evening where dogs are welcome, conversation flows, and the focus stays on enjoying the park after dark rather than covering miles.
