Visit MN State Parks for free on June 1
May 15th, 2008 | by Andy Published in Camping, Hiking, Outdoor Living
As Minnesota commemorates its Sesquicentennial, it’s great to see a number of the celebrations are in the best places our state has: the Outdoors.
On June 1st, for example, day admission to all state parks will be free, as they host the “Great Minnesota Picnic.” The aim is to encourage folks to bring their picnic lunch, perhaps even to state parks less-familiar to them. Overnight rates will remain in effect, so plan ahead and make reservations if you want to camp out.
Here’s a short list of state parks are high on our recommended list. If by some odd chance, you’ve never been to one of them, now’s a great time:
Temperance River
Judge C.R. Magney
Cuyuna Country
Cascade River
Afton
