In advance of the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is highlighting recreational opportunities at state parks, trails and recreation areas throughout Minnesota.
The DNR’s summer activities guide at dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/starter_kit/index.html can help to start planning a state parks and trails adventure. The guide lists warm weather activities for people of all ages and interests.
