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 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.

The Hunt is back on and Fall is here, search with friends and family, hear the kids cheer.
In cow town you'll look for a medallion to find, search all the parks noodle hard with your mind. 
This one might be tough I might throw you for a loop, if you find this treasure go enjoy some food at The Coop!
The official meaning of the clue.

We encourage people to get out with friends, family, and kids to search in our parks to find the medallion. The medallion is very well hidden and you will need to have a good eye to realize its location. We also give a nod to our sponsor, The Coop, for this hunt!

Clue 2
Published Date

Thirty, thirty-nine, and ninety-three,
Don't think too hard in time you will see. 
A super big hint I'll give you the tea,
There's lots of squirrels and big yellow bee.
If you're tired of looking grill up some food,
Please keep our park clean don't be rude! 
The official meaning of the clue.

Thirty, thirty nine, and ninety three are all years (“in time”) that have significance to Lorraine Park. The parks origin is 1930, McLain pool was built in 1939, and the splash pool was built in 1993. We also give a hint to the new playground having a big sign of anatomy of a bee, and the take over of tons of squirrels living in the park. We also hint the park has pavilions and grills for use.

Clue 3
Spikes, sets, and serves won't bring you joy,
The rhymes in the lines surely are coy. 
A little luck of the Irish will help you on your route, it's summer time so boot hockey is out
Don't sink or swim it's here to be discovered,
Deceiving to the eye greenery keeps our medallion covered.
The official meaning of the clue.

We allude to all the sports areas of Lorraine and tell you it’s not in those areas. Volley ball pit, hockey rink, and McGuire Field which is home to the Stockmen's “Irish” baseball team! “Don’t sink or swim” tells the hunters it’s not next to the pool area, so you should have the entire west side of the park ruled out. The medallion is hidden very deceivingly inside a new concealer that looks like the greenery of the bushes in the hiding spot!

Clue 4

Your feet must be tired don't get off course,
Hidden next to eight shoes of a horse.
Choose the pits that face east and west,
The second set from north will be the best.
13 paces east to the bushes from the back of the pit, 
At the base awaits a leafy treasure so go on now git!

The official meaning of the clue.

The final clue leads you to the medallion's exact location, in the south east corner of the park you will find 8 horse shoe pits, 4 of them face north and south, four of them face east and west. Go to the 4 that face east and west and go to the second set from the north. Go to the back stop of that set and pace 13 steps to the bushes and at the inner base of the bushes the medallion sits inside the floaty covered in leaves to blend it in with the bush!
