Reservoir Woods – Roseville City Park, Larpenteur Ave., 55113

Summer birding is more relaxed and presents possibilities for observing behaviors different from other times of year. Now they are briefly settled on family territories. Birders have opportunities for lingering identifications and group observations at a summer-time relaxed pace. This slower pace is also ideal for beginning birders to learn and experience the basics to locate, describe, and identify birds.

DIRECTIONS      Meet at the Roseville Woodview Off-Leash Dog Area parking lot, between Rice and Dale Streets on Larpenteur Ave. (Location listed on eBird hotspots as “Reservoir Woods—Woodview Open Space”.) Park snugly in the small parking lot or street park on Mackubin St. directly across Larpenteur from the dog area parking lot. 44.992056, -93.120548

REGISTRATION     None

DIFFICULTY      Approximately 1.2-1.7 miles on paved paths. Small portion on packed dirt paths possible depending on route chosen that day. Moderate decline at the beginning, and incline when returning at the end. Porta potty at the parking area.
