Trail Walk Treasure Hunt

Join our treasure hunt across South St. Paul’s parks. Solve the clues, find the medallion, and claim your prize.

How it works

Each week, we post clues that point to a park and the local business sponsor. Find the hidden medallion, snap a photo of where you found it, and bring it to SSP City Hall at 125 3rd Ave. N. to receive a treasure from the featured business.

Clues & Schedule

  • Clues post on our website and on Facebook @SSP.Parks.Rec.Events.
  • The first clue posts on Wednesday.
  • A new clue appears daily at 12:00 p.m. (Wednesday-Saturday) until the medallion is found.

Park Hours

8:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. only. If you trespass outside these hours, you will be disqualified.

At this space where three places come a-glue.
