Confirmed from Teepee Tonka Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Picnic tables, a river and archery range can be found at this spacious park with mature trees, hiking trails and a tunnel.
What runners say about Teepee Tonka Park
“Clean & quiet park to bring the kiddos to and go for a fun dip in the stream then a great walk down the trails.”
“I love it is beautiful my daughter loved going to the haunted Place back there in the woods pretty crazy play healing really different at night the vibe is so creepy but so cool”
Nice trails and not too buggy when we were there. Probably just got lucky. Later on at th nature center though the little effers were out in full force.
This is my favorite park in Faribault. Great trails all over the place. Some connect you to the nature center. Everyone comes here for the long tunnel. Feels great down there in the summer. Never a boring walk through teepeetonka
I love this park! The river wraps around one side of the park. Endless trails and nature. It also has a creepy old underground nuclear bomb shelter which was part of the old Sanitarium
Clean & quiet park to bring the kiddos to and go for a fun dip in the stream then a great walk down the trails. The tunnel is also really fascinating
