Tony Schmidt Regional Park 3500 Lake Johanna Boulevard, Arden Hills, MN 55112

"I grew up not too far from here, but it wasn't until I was an adult that I really explored this place. It is a great place to get out and walk the trails, and see some critters along the way too. I recently revisited this place for the first time in many years. I had my camera with being I was there on a Fall Colors photo adventure."

"I live right by this park I feel like I can rate this more accurately than almost anyone because I have explored the entire park and spent a lot of time there. Arden hills is a very boring town however this park makes it a lot less bad, there is a bike jump line, many paved and non paved trails (nice for mountain biking) hammocking here is very nice. I have a secret location on the edge of a steep hill that I usually go to (3rd photo) one complaint I have is that the Perry park bathroom has been locked all summer however I’m pretty sure that’s not technically a part of Tony Schmidt."

"Nicely groomed park. Plenty of pavillions and picnic tables. Paved trails lead to other trails. Concrete restrooms and kids playground along with swimming beach. Boat landing available. There is more parking, kids playground, picnic tables and pavillions across the street from the lakeside."

"Well I've been through the Park most days I'm here, covered nearly all the tracks and paths and have to say I like it I keep going back. Nice little park all the walks and cycle paths through it are nice and easy and who knows what wildlife you'll see. Day one spotted a turtle and hawks"

"Beautiful park with a lot of trails that go endlessly around, connecting to each other. The railroad tracks are wonderful as well to look at. The ponds are filled with life."
