Parking
Parking on the shoulder at the curve in the road, which the Minnesota DNR suggests, is not safe for you or for other drivers who will not see your car until they are almost upon it. Park instead at the field access on the south side of the road at the location shown (see Parking above). This is on state park property, not private property.
