DNR 2025 Accomplishments
The DNR is pleased to share its annual accomplishments list. Each of the featured items helped advance our mission and the goals in our Conservation Agenda. While the list does not capture all the DNR has done this year it reflects the scope and importance of the work done throughout Minnesota.

Stay safe on the ice
Minnesota's frozen waterways are busy places this winter, drawing folks to fish, skate, snowmobile, or simply take a walk on the frozen water. It's a great way to enjoy the winter, but please make safety your priority: Check the ice for yourself, wear ice picks and a life jacket or float coat/suit, and follow our ice thickness recommendations.

Check snow depth and groomed trail conditions
Before you hit the trails, check out the most recent snow depth maps and groomed snowmobile and ski trail conditions statewide, including trail base information. Ski trails generally require five inches of snow on the ground before they can be groomed; snowmobile trails require closer to ten.
