High Wildfire Danger
Burning restrictions are in place for most of the state. Check the current fire danger and burning restrictions in your area. Be careful with any outdoor activity that can cause heat or sparks. In these conditions, any spark could cause a wildfire that quickly grows out of control.
Enjoy the early open-water season safely
Throughout much of the state, anglers are flocking to open water to scratch their fishing itch. Keeping safety top of mind when you’re on or near the water is paramount, as an unexpected fall in can turn tragic quickly. Looking for a spot to get out? Consider one of the piers or shore fishing sites in Minnesota.
