• Flandrau State Park

  

  New Ulm, Minnesota is south of Hutchinson, west of Fairbault, north of Fairmont, and east of Walnut Grove. If you are familiar with Little House on the Prairie, you might remember Pa Ingalls making trips to Mankato now and then. Most likely he crossed the Minnesota river at New Ulm.

• St. Croix State Park

  

  This park is HUGE compared to other Minnesota state parks. At 33,895 acres (13,717 ha) it is the largest Minnesota state park. I was driving there on a Friday afternoon. I knew it would be a challenge to get there before dark.

• Rockville County Park

  

  If you are near central Minnesota and are looking for an hour or two of pleasant walks along earthen trails next to a river, I suggest Rockville. It is a short drive west from St. Cloud on Highway 23, or a slightly longer drive east from Paynesville.
