Gale Woods is a 410 Acre Park Reserve, located on picturesque Whaletail Lake in Minnetrista.  The farm features a working educational farm and provides opportunities for visitors of all ages to enjoy experiences that enhance their understanding of agriculture, food production and land stewardship.  Seasonal farm activities are the basic for public programs and scheduled group visits.

Programs offered at the farm include hayrides, meet fascinating farm animals, explore orchards, spin sheep's wool, harvest fresh garden produce and more.  Gale Woods also offers numerous recreational opportunities.  Several miles of hiking trails loop around rolling fields, mature oak and maple-basswood forests, undeveloped lakeshores and beautiful wetlands.  Visitors can also paddle on Whaletail Lake, or launch your own canoe or try your luck at the fishing pier.  There is a four-season rental picnic pavilion for large groups, this distinctive facility overlooks the lake, pastures and gardens of the farm and can hold up to
320 people.
