NATURE TRAIL Bethel College has developed a walking trail which runs through the woods, thickets, and swamps on their campus in Arden Hills. A two-mile path has been marked out by biology professor Gregg Johnson and was worked on this summer by Forest Lake junior Steve Prange. Bethel welcomes anyone to come and enjoy this woodchip trail and surrounding wild life. i Trail Directions: Enter the Bethel campus from 1` starts Old Snelling and park in the first lot to here the right. Walk back across the road to Lake Valentine and follow the orangey Lake ��, gravel path around the Lake to your right Valentine (north) onto the blacktop path. Follow jthis past the first marker which says "Willow Thicket Station" and the woodchip trail will strike off uphill to the right. 3Rditor's Comment: Be sure and wear old shoes because parts of the trail can be quite muddy after a rain. Some of the trail is difficult to discern because of Parking Lot the fallen leaves, but if you lose the woodchips, just follow the plastic trail liner. I managed to get lost after "Inter- mittent Pond", but found my way back along an apparent jogging path. It might be interesting to walk this in the winter too.
