BLOOMINGTON — This holiday season, Monroe Lake is inviting you to take a break from the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping and stress by getting outdoors for some fresh air and adventure. The Fifth Annual Monroe Lake Holiday Hiking Challenge will occur from November 28 through December 1, encouraging participants to explore the park’s scenic trails while completing fun, holiday-themed activities.
The challenge requires hikers to complete all of Monroe Lake’s designated trails. Each trail features a “challenge station” where participants must complete a specific activity. The activities range from nature-based tasks to holiday-themed challenges, and participants must take a photo at each station to document their progress.
“This is a great way to escape the holiday rush and enjoy the beauty of Monroe Lake during the season,” said event organizers. “It’s a fun way to connect with nature, stay active, and make lasting memories with friends and family.”
To participate, hikers must complete the entire challenge and submit their photo set by the deadline. Everyone who successfully completes the challenge will be entered into a prize drawing for a chance to win special outdoor-themed prizes.
