Tamarack Nature Center is a 2.8 mile loop trail located near Saint Paul, Minnesota that features a lake. The trail is good for all skill levels and is primarily used for hiking, walking, and running.
A smaller stroller and wheelchair accessible paved trail loop is also available in this park.
March 21, 2021I took the outer path which was a combination of dragonfly and deer trail. there was a small section that had some ice and another small section that was flooded but those could be avoided. this time of year the highway was visible at times because trees don't have leaves yet. I imagine it looks better when it gets greener.
March 2, 2021Very loud from the freeway (March 2). Maybe it’s quieter in the summer. Looks like it would be great for kids!
February 28, 2021January 3, 2021Beautiful day for snowshoeing!
December 28, 2020Trail was confusing to find but great once on it. Acorn is a trail that you can snowshoe on. Trail not marked well but if you just keep following the lake you will go in a loop.
December 3, 2020Easy and well maintained. Can get a bit crowded on nice days.
November 29, 2020Nice park, from the little of it that I got to see. Mainly I was on the Acorn loop. There is a stretch of this trail that is a bit uneven, and slanted, which might make it difficult for some. Many more trails in this park than the map here shows. Woodland, grassland, and wetland trails. Looks like there is a play area for the young'ns. Looking forward to more visits to explore this park.
October 23, 2020October 22, 2020October 3, 2020looks nice but they don't allow dogs on the trail.
October 3, 2020Pretty views, uneven trail (acorn). Need to try a different one!
September 15, 2020a couple of turns were not well marked so I ended up having to backtrack. surfaces vary from asphalt to sand to grass to wood chips and planking in wet spots.
September 6, 2020August 12, 2020Simple trails with little surprises (like a path through the forest)
May 27, 2020March 26, 2020Took a break halfway through. Great one hour if you go no breaks! Would not recommend as a springtime hike.
March 21, 2020Nice 2.8 loop with shorter options available. Muddy in places this time of year and part runs along the interstate so not the most peaceful. Saw a huge bald eagle!
February 23, 2020A little slushy, but good terrain for an almost city park.
January 10, 2020I’m sure the trail is great but the trail conditions were impossible.
October 14, 2019Very nice trails overall.the trail will take you in the wood In swampy area and open space.
October 1, 2019A simple and easy hike which is accessible to all ages. If hiking soon, the paths are quite muddy (small patches of water on the paths as well) and watch out for wooly worms and tiger salamanders crossing the paths. Mosquitos are out and about at the moment as well, they’re worst out on the deer trail.
