Spring through fall weekday mornings or early evenings offer the most pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Weekends see more local families, but trails rarely feel overcrowded.

These are public trails in the surrounding area (not golf course property), so access is free. No facilities are available directly on the trails, so plan accordingly with restroom stops before you go.

Best enjoyed May through October when weather is mild. Trails may be used for cross-country skiing in winter by adventurous families, but snow removal is not guaranteed. Avoid during peak summer heat (midday July-August).

Head to Chaska for family dining at Fireside Pizza Company (casual atmosphere with kid favorites) or visit the nearby Chanhassen area for Culver's, which offers indoor play areas and kid-friendly meals.
