SauNice has partnered with Ramsey County Parks and will have mobile sauna available on Sundays from 10:00AM to 5:00PM, November through April at Lake Johanna Beach in Arden Hills. Reserve the Black Bear sauna for your private group. A SauNice rep will prepare the sauna and get the stove fire stoked and warmed up for your 1.5 hour session.

The sauna will be positioned in the parking lot or closer to the beach. Bring a robe or towel of sorts to change with as there is no available restroom during the winter months. People will be going back-and-forth between the ice hole and the sauna for the maximum benefit of hot and cold exchange! This is a highly recommended activity where many of the same people come on a weekly basis or multiple times during the week. Stay up-to-date with Lake Johanna Ice Dippers on Facebook, which is a partner page to SauNice.

All wood and water for the rocks as well as essential oils will be provided and available.

Bring a towel and change of clothes!

This is a rare opportunity to combine the rush of an ice cold lake dip with the warm welcome on a wood-fired sauna can provide!

Anything metal worn or touched may burn you. Please be aware of the stove and piping at all times and avoid contact with such surfaces. The glove(s) may be used when opening the sauna door or loading the fire with wood.

By signing the waiver/hold harmless agreement it agreed that no alcohol or otherwise illegal substances are to be used or influence sauna sessions. A sauna is best experienced with a clear mind and body. One of the primary purposes of sauna is to detox, so please enjoy substance-free and let us know how you sleep the night after sauna.

Pay attention to how you feel when experience hot and cold exchanges. If you are unfamiliar with sauna and cold immersion, seek advice and support from someone who has done it and take it slow. If you feel dizzy or light-headed or otherwise uncomfortable, remove yourself from the situation and drink water and focus on your breathing. Seek assistance from others or call 911 in case of an emergency.

A comfortable sauna temperature for most is somewhere between 130 and 200F. If a more humid experience is wanted, a temperature between 150-170 with regular watering of the sauna rocks and metal surfaces. Consider a minimum of 3 sauna sessions separated by cold exposure means including water immersion, dousing with hose/bucket, snow/ice application or cool ambient air.
