Battle Lake, MN wanted winter tourists too. The Glendalough Trail Loop helped.

Battle Lake likes to call itself the “Heart of 1,000 Lakes,” a nod to its central location in the Minnesota county boasting more lakes than any other. But lakes can appeal to winter sports enthusiasts too, especially after a trail to Glendalough State Park was built for bikes, cross country skiing and snowshoes. The trail center even rents skis and snowshoes.
