All Are Welcome
Everyone is welcome at Minnesota State Parks and Trails. We are hard at work to safely reopen facilities so that soon everyone can reap the benefits of recreating at these beautiful places that belong to all Minnesotans.
Here is a collection of our favorite photos from last summer that bring back fun memories and smiles to our faces. We hope they make you smile too.
We look forward to serving you and to keep working towards our vision to "create unforgettable park, trail, and water recreation experiences that inspire people to pass along their love for the outdoors to current and future generations."
Paddling on the St. Croix River

Future geocaching champ?
Gone Fishin'
Test your driving skills with an off-road vehicle...
... or your mountain bike
At the crag, ready to reach new heights
A wee day out with the wee ones
Take a hike with your loved one
I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like
The perfect father-daughter date
A room with a view (and what a view it was)
When the night has come... we lounge under the stars
We have started reopening campgrounds at state parks, state forests and recreation areas in a phased approach.
For limitations, allowed use, and safety info keep referring to mndnr.gov/COVID19.
Remember... stay safe, healthy, and six feet away from others!

Slow The Spread:
-
Plan ahead: Make reservations and buy your permits online *before* you arrive at the park. This helps protect you, other visitors and staff by minimizing person-to-person contact. If you buy a vehicle permit online, record your confirmation number and place it on the dashboard of your car.
-
Be prepared: Bring your own water, soap, hand sanitizer, surface disinfectant supplies, towels and toilet paper.
-
Follow the rules: Follow federal, state and DNR guidelines. This includes observing cleaning protocols, following directional signage and practicing social distancing—even outdoors.
