| Visitors who come to Lake Maria State Park will enjoy one of the few remaining stands of the "Big Woods," a maple, oak & basswood forest that once covered part of southern Minnesota.
The park is perfect for hikers, backpackers, horseback riders, & cross-country skiers who enjoy the challenge of the rolling terrain. Take a stroll on the boardwalk which winds through a marsh.
Backpack sites, located on remote lakes & ponds throughout the park, are just two miles from the trailhead parking lot. New log camper cabins, located near lakes & ponds, provide bunk beds for six people & a table & benches for campers who want more of the creature comforts.
Lake Maria State Park is home to the Blandings turtle, easily identified by bright yellow spots on its shell. It is one of Minnesota's threatened species. |
