Discover new opportunities for adventure
Are you ready to explore? Adventure awaits in Minnesota state parks and trails! Go camping, take a nature hike, pack a picnic - just grab a map and get outside!
Maple syrup
Learn to tap your own trees to make maple syrup at home, or come to a naturalist-led event in a state park - you may get a sweet treat at the end of the program!
Don't get lost - navigate with your phone!
The free Avenza Maps® app uses GPS location tracking so you can stay found, even off the grid. Download the app and a GeoPDF map at home, and you won't need Internet or cell service once you're on the trail.
