Came out for a long walk and found great trails, clean paths and friendly visitors! Wish the entrance to the lake trail was more clearly marked when entering from the west. Be sure to look out for a paved picnic platform and look out into the clearing towards the lake to find it!
First time here with a friend. We rented a canoe for three of us to use (two adults, one child). Price was reasonable at $12/hr. Employees were great and helped us launch the canoe. Lake was beautiful and very clear. It was neat to see turtles, egrets, fish, and ducks. We did a short walk down one of the trails and it was nice! Didn’t explore everything but the parts we did were great!
Super excellent park. Clean and tons of fun for 0-10. Semi enclosed so it keeps your kids close and has lots to offer! Indoor bathrooms and concession stand, dog friendly.
So beautiful there! I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in MN! It was very serene and every staff member was so so kind.
The playground was amazing with a huge variety of things to do on it. A kids giant game of hide and seek / tag would be epic. Unfortunately when I was here it felt like 43C with the humidity. My kids would love to come back.
A very streamlined process to park, shuttle, purchase lift tickets, and rent and return equipment. Rental staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and innovative. The ski instructors are top notch too. I’m a first-time skier in my mid-thirties. They taught me the basics, which helped to build the confidence I need to take a ski trip to Lutsen in March. Hyland is very affordable and offers approachable hills; requires some patience on busy days.
The kids, ages 9-14, had a blast! They climbed rope ladders and webs, swung on swings, and created games inspired by the fun surroundings. Interestingly, they didn’t go on any of the slides. Oh well. They still asked to come again when we left. There are several areas for kids to play in: one section of netted tubes and climbing platforms with slides, a large playground with multiple long and twisty slides, a smaller playground for young kids, a little playground in the sand for babies and toddlers, a large spider web rope tower, a set of tire swings, an enclosed maze of tunnels and nets, twirly chairs, and even a spongy foam hill to jump from. (Most of the flooring in the playground is spongy foam, but sections of it are wood chip.) There are lots of options for seating, from benches to tables, covered and uncovered. Oh, and there is a little section of misters to cool the kids off on hot days. For being misters, they really get the kids wet, so bring a towel or have them come in their swimsuits. The whole playground is fenced in, but there are a lot of areas to play in, so you may be on your feet a lot to keep track of who’s where. Enjoy!
Great cross country ski trails. Snow is provided by weather or man made snow .
