Map of the Jay C. Hormel Nature Center trails.
PictureFun Fact: The wood for the signs are repurposed from the siding of the old building!
Exciting News: We have new trail signs, colored trails and map! 
  • We are in the process of eliminating some trails to simplify the trail system.
  • The grey trails are connecting trails and some of the trails are used during ski season only. 
  • There are signs for the parking lot, the tower, the pond, the stepping stone bridge, and the covered bridge. 
  • There are 8 colored trails
  1. Blue = .4 mi                       5. Red = 1 mi 
  2. Yellow = .6 mi                   6. Orange = 1.2 mi
