Washrooms, water, candy and no-wax ski rental. A natural oasis for skiing, sledding and sky gazing amidst the farmland. Baylor Regional Park is located in the extreme southwest corner of Metroland, so far removed from the city that it was the perfect place to watch Comet Hyakutake as it swept past Earth in late March 1995. Perched on the shoulder of Eagle Lake and surrounded by farmers' fields, Baylor preserves a rich mix of native habitat. A large grove of mature maple trees are tapped in early spring each year for maple syrup.
Trails also pass through marsh, meadow and along Eagle Lake.
7 seven miles west from I-494 to Hwy. A natural oasis for skiing, sledding and sky gazing amidst the farmland. An overlooked park with a remnant of the Big Woods that once covered this area. There is some nice skiing here, especially in the rolling woods. You probably have a better chance of seeing deer than people while visiting.
