We hiked Franz Jevne State Park on July 14th, 2023.
It was a beautiful day for a hike along the border of Minnesota and Canada. Our adventure began as we hiked towards the Rainy River. The Rainy River separates The United States and Canada.
We located a U.S. marker along the trail.
Our first glimpse of the river included a view of a small island.
The saying goes “the early bird gets the worm” well, then I say the first hiker on the trail in the morning gets a face full of invisible spider webs. No complaints though, only laughs. The views made up for any itchiness we had to encounter.
Every side trail we saw leading to the river… we took. Nature’s colors were so vibrant.
The birds offered a wonderful soundtrack to our hike.
It was a surreal feeling to know the river in front of us was the only thing separating the United States and Canada. The view was spectacular!
We followed the same trail back to our starting point.
Our hiking adventure was 1.5 miles.
