The Rhino Arena in Hinckley holds horse-related events indoors year around.

Motorcycling
Woodland Trails is an ideal destination for bikers from the Twin Cities, St. Cloud, Duluth/Superior or the Eau Claire area. The route to Woodland Trails is entirely over paved roads. Once here, your bikes can be stored inside overnight and shined up with complimentary towels.

Riding from Woodland Trails, you can head across the border into Wisconsin, which many consider to be “bikers heaven” because of the paved roads that gently wind through woods and around lakes.

Wild Animal Photography for Amateurs!
Yes, for the adventuresome, Minnesota Wildlife Connection is located just 30 minutes from Woodland Trails. Owners Lee and Sandy Greenly house dozens of native animals at their farm on the Kettle River. Photographers from all over the world come to photograph timber wolves, coyotes, fox, cougar, bobcat, lynx, black bear and other animals in natural settings.
