This 100-acre park is the 2nd largest in the county. Located north of Alexandria near Miltona, Spruce Hill Park offers hiking trails, 4 miles of groomed and slotted cross country ski trails, picnic tables, grills, shelters, restrooms and a softball field. Open 8am-10:30p
Spruce Hill Park contains some unusual forest types for Douglas County. The lowland brush area bordering Spruce Creek is populated with spruce, birch, aspen, and the not often seen tamarack. Tamarack is the only native conifer in Minnesota that sheds its needles every year. A trip through the park in late fall will yield the sight of hundreds of golden needled tamaracks in the process of regeneration. Bird watchers take note that the Great Gray Owl is known to frequent tamarack swamps.
