Minnesota state parks are wonderful destinations in all four seasons of the year. You will learn the best places to bird-watch, see wildlife, and look for wildflowers. Some of the most stunning autumn scenery is found in Minnesota State Parks. Most parks are open all winter and offer groomed cross-country ski trails, snowmobile trails, winter hiking trails, and snowshoeing. Several state parks have exciting sledding hills and many have a warming house with a wood-burning stove or fireplace.
State parks are found in each of the seven unique regions of Minnesota: The Arrowhead, The Iron Range, The Bogs, The Red River Valley, The Heartland, The Southern Plains, and The Bluff Country. Every region offers you a diverse Minnesota experience.
