- Treasure Hunt at Crosby Farm Park, Saturday, April 24th, from 10 to 2 – Celebrate Earth Week by exploring the prairie, woods and marshes at Crosby Farm Park. A treasure hunt has been created to add to the fun of your hike. Maps can be picked up at the pavilion near the parking lot, or you can photograph the map on your cellphone. Bring a picnic lunch if you choose. We will provide s’mores. There are picnic tables and a few fireplaces, as well as a port-a-potty nearby. The trail is a 1.3 mile, level path which winds through a prairie, a floodplain forest and around a lake. Crosby Farm Regional Park is located just east of the Mendota Bridge on the north side of the Mississippi River. It is run by the St. Paul Park System. The address is 2595 Crosby Farm Road, St. Paul 55116.
