MAPLEWOOD STATE PARK - Minnesota

About

Are you looking for a Minnesota state park where you can experience premiere fall colors? Please check out Maplewood State Park, northwest of the Twin Cities. Our visit was just past fall peak. However, we still were able to capture lots of beautiful color. Also, lots of lakes and trails for your family but no boat rentals due to COVID.
