Mark your calendars for February 16th, as the Friends of the Hennepin Canal invite you to join their “Bald Eagle” hike. This scenic 4.6-mile trek will take participants from Lock 30 to Lock 32, offering a chance to spot the majestic bald eagle along the way. The adventure begins at 1:30 p.m., with a meeting point at the steel dam in Milan. From there, hikers will be shuttled to the Mississippi River to commence the journey back. No membership or fees are required—just dress for the weather and bring a friend. For updates or more details, visit their Facebook page or email [email protected].
