ST. PAUL (KFGO-KDLM) – Minnesota state parks and recreation areas will offer free admission on Friday, November 27th, the day after Thanksgiving.
The Details
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is waiving vehicle permit fees as part of its annual Free Park Days, which encourage people to get outdoors and enjoy nature.
Late November is a good time to take a nature hike, look for wildlife, explore state trails or even try winter camping. More than 25 state parks and recreation areas offer camping opportunities through the winter.
The DNR encourages visitors to check park alerts and weather conditions before heading out and to dress appropriately.
