State park license plate design contest
After ten years, it's time for a new license plate! Minnesotans are invited to put their creativity to the test and show their love for state parks and trails through a license plate design celebrating the North Shore and Lake Superior agates.
Be safe during hunting season!
Many Minnesota state parks hold fall deer hunts. Some close to non-hunters during hunts, while others remain open to all visitors. Check on park hunts before you go, and wear blaze orange or other bright colors outdoors.
