The Park: Rum River North seems to be a tiny strip of land along the river bank. I'm sure it's normally a much larger strip of land but much of it was underwater today. The big attractions seem to be canoe access points and a canoers only camp ground. It doesn't have a super lot of trails and I had to run one loop a couple times just to get up to four miles. What it lacks in mileage it makes up for in variety. I had a paved trail most of the way, crushed limestone/gravel, dirt and grass, all within four miles. I also had lots of hills, up and down, which I'm making peace with.
The Finisher: Today's finisher was Single Leg Front Raises and side steps. I didn't use a band, but legs were on fire afterwards so that probably means I worked hard enough. I started at 15 leg raises on each leg and then 15 lateral steps on each leg; 14 on each, all the way down to 1 on each side. That's a total of 120 of each element on each leg, in 11:25. I did some dynamic drills and then headed back to the car, hips aching.
Bottom Line: The short mileage of the trails means I probably won't go out of my way to come so far north again. If I'm nearby at the end of my day, I'd go here again. It's close to a library and gas station for changing into workout gear. It has nice trails, lots of portopots and even a drinking fountain. The trails were in really good shape, except for the far out grass trails which could've used a mow but were ultimately easily avoidable.
