Top Parks in Minnesota

Grab a snack from one of the nearby cafes before heading in. It's way cheaper than the overpriced stuff inside the park. You can save a few bucks!

Don't forget to bring a camera for the falls. I missed some great shots because I was too busy just enjoying the moment. Capture those beautiful views, trust me

If you're going for a hike, I'd recommend starting early, around 8 AM. The trails are much less crowded, and you get to enjoy the views with fewer people around.

Check out the trail around the lake early in the morning. I went around 8 AM and it was super peaceful and less crowded!

If you want to rent a kayak or paddleboard, do it early, like before noon. The lines get long, and you’ll want to enjoy the water!

I think it's a good idea to bring a packed lunch. There aren't many food options nearby and picnicking in the park is lovely!

If you like photography, don't miss the stone staircases and old machinery. I suggest bringing a good camera or even your phone—trust me, the pics will come out amazing!

Make sure to bring a picnic if you want to save some bucks! There's a chill vibe, and I found a perfect spot under a tree that wasn't crowded at all.
