There are various parking lots at Lebanon Hills. Most of them have an associated building with restrooms and picnic areas. The winter trails for cross country skiing, snowshoeing and hiking are relatively extensive and have good views traversing small lakes. The trails are also very well marked and most junctions include a msp

They have some of the most beautiful hiking trails I have ever seen! Sooo many options and the views are incredible!!

Lots of lakes. Shady. Birdsong. Trails extremely well marked. Potential for up to 10 miles of hiking, maybe more. Some hills. Loved hiking here.

Really cool trail system a lot of floating walk ways and water views. Muskrats playing in the water, turtles floating around. Lots of birds chirping and hanging out. Long main trail and many side trails that circle around the lakes out there. If you do hike around out there make sure u have a trail app like all trails or GMaps to help guide you around. So many side trails and places to go. One of the nicest hiking trails in the twin cities if you like long hikes and nature.

Nice trail and lake and Ok Beach. Kayak rentals are good price. But lake is small. Good if you want to experience SUP

Lebanon Hills Regional Park is a beautiful place for hiking, swimming, canoeing and connecting with nature. They have a Nature Center building that is both educational and offers space for events and parties. The beach is also a great place to relax during the summer.

I had a lovely private retreat in the building on site in this very nice park. knotty pine walls, ceilings and hardwood floors, wood burning old brick fireplace, tall windows overlooking a mixed-trees forest, window benches, and even a place to hang your coat, on hangers, with a bench to sit down and take off tour boots. Tables and chairs available on site. Adequate kitchen, bathrooms, seems like I saw a door marked showers, too. Building was comfortable, and we were able to adjust temperatures to our liking. Not sure if there is air conditioning, but were were only interested in heat, as we watched an early April snow flurry filter through the trees. It was warm enough to melt on contact with the ground, but cool enough for jackets and heat. Decent parking, and easy freeway access. Within a mile or two of the Minnesota Zoo, which was closed this Sunday evening. I would have stopped in!

Awesome Park. Great place to bring the dog! So many walking trails. Great views of the lakes. Private. Clean, fun side paths, great place to take photos during anytime of the year.

I love this park! There are so many trails, lakes and small ponds to discover. It's also large enough to get "lost in the woods" without really getting lost. The trails are well marked and there are maps everywhere. Highly recommend!

This park is amazing, great for hiking, BBQ, skiing. In August, the white water lilies in the park lake are in full bloom, very beautiful. If you want to enjoy the white water lily at close range, you can bring your own kayak down to the lake to enjoy it.

What a beautiful place to walk! Walked around Lake McDonough and Jensen Lake and were both beautiful! So many different trails to take! Just being out in nature will make you forget the stress of life. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful park with lots of well marked trails. Great for a leisurely walk or even a trail run. A ton of slight inclines and declines but be careful of the rocks and roots.

Made a habit of coming here weekly, it's a really huge place I enjoyed walking endlessly. Not a lot of people, it's got vistas and lakes and lots of nice views.

A beautiful escape from the city. Away from major roads, you can't hear traffic. A lovely selection of trails for hiking, running, skiing, riding, and lakes for canoeing. I love coming here in the morning. Come spot deer, hawks, woodpeckers, vultures, frogs, and so many more animals.

I love this park! Went on a moderate loop and did about five miles. Lots of choices for hiking. Cross country skiing in winter. Trails are quite muddy right now so be prepared with adequate shoes. Great birding too!

STUNNING hiking trails! You could spend all day here and still not explore all of the little trails. They're nicely shaded due to the thick forest. You can get a trail map from the rental office, which I highly recommend. It's easy to get lost here, but with a trail map in hand and one at every junction, we easily managed to keep our bearings.

Lebanon Hills Park has something for everyone with seven lakes and 15 miles of trails. Trails are well marked with maps. Paper maps are available as well. Virtually impossible to get lost. Hiking, swimming, fishing, biking, paddleboard, kayaking,, canoeing, horseback trails, skiing, picnic areas. Moderate difficulty. Bring big spray.

Awesome until the rain came.

Well-maintained trails throughout. Combination of dirt paths (and occasionally sand), and wooden slats. Jensen Lake trailhead is a great ~2.25 mile loop, but you could easily hike 10 miles through the various interconnected trails.

Had a blast out kayaking today. The staff is always so friendly and professional. Cheap rentals and equipment is well maintained.

Always enjoy hiking in these trails. Several entry points to different parks of the park. Many lakes to walk around. A good section of trail is paved for easy walking. Rolling hills for a variety of views and terrain. The majority of the trails can be done in loops, very few out and backs.

Truly a hiker's paradise! For a park this close to the Cities, it's pretty amazing just how many miles of hiking you have and also how alone you can feel at times on the trails! My personal favorite route is to start at the far Eastern parking lot, and then go up to the Equestrian Trailhead, then begin heading west until you meet up with Southern Voyager, then follow this all the way to the Jensen Lake loop, go around the lake, and then you can either head back the same way or take Northern Voyager. It's almost exactly 7 miles to do this trail and honestly one of the best hikes I've ever been on. Tons of white-tail deer, wild turkeys, and turtles at this park. Have also seen coyotes on rare occasion. There is a county ranger/sheriff who patrols this park on a weekly basis and he'll sometimes give a friendly warning not to go on the equestrian trails. Really wonderful park overall! You can rent equipment online or at the visitor center. About 2,000 acres and I like being able to refill water at both the visitor center area and the Jensen Lake trailhead. Also a nice beach and swimming area near the visitor center. Wish I had taken more autumn pics but have some pics from all 4 seasons.

LOVED this park - incredibly massive and a large scope of challenges for all levels of activity you may be seeking. Visited when it was cold and it was so serene and beautiful. The people visiting were friendly and courteous, especially with their dogs. Parking also was easy and the very accessible pathways make navigation easy.

Love feeling like youre out of town even when youre right in town. Nicely groomed trail for an easy early morning hike!

Great place to be close to nature without having to drive for hours. Since our last visit more picnic tables and grill stands have been added. There are 2 big decks too with wheelchair access.

Rented snow shoes....it's great reat work out and not expensive.

Great paths for a wintery run. I am training for a 50k run and I was able to run for about 2 hours by looping around twice. I started my run by 9am and it was quite busy by the time I left. I recommend to avoid crowds and go earlier.

This park exceeded my expectations as a Regional Park. Trails are extremely well labeled, lots of lakes to hike around and canoe through (Portage Boundary Waters style) , the Visitors Center is clean and the staff is helpful. Fantastic day activity in the south metro!

I LOVE this place! Best local place for a great hike! Surrounded by so much beauty. ♡

Best park in the south suburbs, possibly best in the cities. Tons of trails and activities available.

Perfect place to try out our new snowshoes! We went around Jensen lake as the sun was setting!

Winter ski rentals, designated ski trails and hiking trails. There are a lot of trails, good but it can be easy to get lost

Great place for a walk or hike.

It's a perfect place for your hammock and enjoy listening to the frogs croaking or birds chirping around. They have that nice playground too but bathrooms still closed due to this Covid-19.

Friendly staff and offers all kinds of winter sport rentals at reasonable price. Nice walking trails and we had fun doing the kick sledding on the lake and in the woods.

One of my favorite places for long walks close to the cities. Lots of options for paths which are well maintained. Paths are both paved or gravel. Great place for kids and picnics as well.

Great winter walk, friendly fire pits

Well maintained campground with nice bathrooms, showers, and playground. Lots of great hiking trails.

Really fortunate to live in an area where ee not only have gorgeous parks but they come with amenities such as equipment rental - as in the case of Lebanon Hills. Rediscovered the fun of kayaking this summer thanks to Dakota County Park & Rec!

We had a lovely small picnic here. Picked up some delicious Rackshack and got a picnic table under a tree with a beautiful view of the lake! Be aware we encountered a group of 20+ people partying, unmasked. We felt we were able to be distant enough, but not everyone might feel comfortable

Kayaking was adorable and comfortable. I would love to come again! The lake is Alittle small and can get really crowded fast!

The hiking trails here are great. You can walk over 10 miles here in the forest without retracing your steps. Quite scenic with a few low hills, ponds, and small lakes. The paths are well-marked. Schultz beach is a very well-maintained swimming spot.

I went here today to go paddleboarding and had a great time paddling on the handful of different ponds and lakes. I started at the portage located at the Jensen Lake Canoe/ kayak launch and traveled by water on my paddleboard and by foot through the trails carrying my inflatable sup on the trails. There are 6 different portages where you have to get off and walk to next lake or pond and the are not very long. I took a break at the visitor center for lunch and turned around and went back to where I began. I saw a turtle some cool birds and heard an owl. It took about 4 hours round trip and found it very nice to get out into nature and hear, see and smell all the things. There are also lots of hiking trails in the area as well. Great way to spend an afternoon off!

Excellent groomed xc ski trails. The advanced are definitely challenging both up and down. Very nice chalet with fireplace.

Great Single Track mountain biking area. Not too long, not too short. Lots of jumps, switchbacks, banks, low bridges etc. Also has a warm up area before you head in. Perfect for all skill levels. Saw several families take on the trails. There are two bike maintenance stations and public rest rooms at the trail head.

Loved the trails for a walk. The MTB trails are one of the best in twin cities area. Rode the blue and green, it was fun.

Great for a walk in the woods or a few laps in the petri dish that is Schulze Lake.

TIL there is a public food-waste/compost drop-off located at the north entrance to the park! Very cool! Also nicely paved paths are easy for wheelchair and stroller access at main pavilion areas. although sometimes the incline is bit steep and makes it difficult to push uphill.

This park never disappoints me. All the trails are an adventure no matter how many times we hike them. Something new to see with every season!

very good place

Well-maintained trails. A little gem in the South metro!

The hiking trails are well-maintained and well-marked. In addition to a parking lot on the east side, there's generous street parking at the west trail head (Galaxie). The park website provides trail map PDFs that can be loaded into the Avenza GPS tracking app, and each intersection has a signpost that tells you where you're headed. I enjoy going here.

Very busy on beautiful fall day during covid. Excellent walking/running trails.

Love this park. Went hiking at night with my wife. Soooo different at night. Make sure you bring your headlamp. See the animals eyes shine back at you!!

Great scenery!

Beautiful place to get your nature in.

Great place to have picnics.

Beautiful park. We had a picnic lunch on a nice fall day. First time there, can't wait to go again when the trees have leaves.

They are doing controlled burning right now. Other than that, the park is absolutely stunning as always. Perfect for walking, trail running, rucking, and horse back riding.

This place is a gem. Hiking, foraging, fishing, kayaking, skiing. Everything. It is at its best at lebanon hills. One of the wonders of the Twin Cities. I am conflicted posting this because I don't want it to become overrun. But who am I kidding.. no one has EVER taken my advice and lived not to regret it.

I love this place! The map system is well organized and the scenery is beautiful all year round. My favorite place to hike.

Lots of well marked trails with maps all over. Great place to take a walk, hike or ski.

Good

Lebanon Hills Regional Park has splendid picnic areas, a sand beach on a ten? acre lake, calming scenery, and lots more to like!

Can't beat a large park to explore in the city. It was fun to walk across the lake with our toddler.

This is a beautiful and large park. Nice easy hiking trails.

Beautiful trails fun for day and friends

Great place

This place is great. Miles and miles of free hiking. Parking lots have been fuller than usual this summer, but when you get into the trails it's easy to keep away from others.

Great park and our site is awesome. The staff is very helpful. My wife walked to the office to check-in and was limping. The staff noticed it and even gave her a ride back to our trailer.

Lots of trail options- it's easy to hike anywhere from 2 to 10 or more miles, and you can decide as you go if you want to add on length to your hike or go back. The trails are well maintained, even, and without a lot of elevation change. This park has among the best trail markings of any park I've ever been to, similar to Afton, where every intersection is marked, contains a map with a "you are here" designator, and has signposts indicating which way to go to each intersection. It's very hard to get lost here. There's plenty of parking and clean bathrooms with running water (still open during the pandemic and they were open last winter) at all three trailheads. The boardwalk trails around Jensen Lake are one way (counter clockwise) due to covid. In the winter, bring ice trekkers, because the trails are well worn very soon after any snowfall. It's a popular place- be prepared to run into other hikers and trail runners regardless of when you come. Dogs are allowed on a leash.

Great hiking. Lots of trails to explore

Beautiful with great trails!

It was awesome!

Amazing trails, great for kids. Beautiful.

Beautiful fall colors and great hiking trails.

Nature just outside the city

Well marked trails!

Lovely park with many well mark trails to ski, snowshoe or hike. Bonfires to enjoy at trailhead. Snow was very hard packed.
