Trail Access Tours

Picture
Private tours on our trail access vehicles can be scheduled with advance notice (a minimum of four days), seven days a week, spring through fall (based on trail conditions and the availability of volunteer drivers). Please call 507-437-7519 for more information or to schedule a tour. This is a free service funded and provided by the Friends of the Jay C. Hormel Nature Center. The Interpretive Center also has two wheelchairs for use on the trails at no charge.

Trail access tours are designed for patrons who need assistance to access the trails.  
​Numbers of participants may be limited, we are following all current COVID protocols. 


Are you interested in joining our team of volunteer trail drivers? We provide training for the vehicles and the tours.
