Rice Lake, Nerstrand Big Woods, Sakatah & Minneopa State Parks

Day two of our Labor Day state park tour took us to the middle of southern Minnesota. 

We started at Rice Lake. Eric and I have camped here a few times and went canoeing several times as well. Unfortunately due to Covid no canoe rentals. :(

Next stop was Nerstrand. This place was packed!  Eric let us out while he waited in line to park. Nancy, Danielle and I were able to hike down to the Hidden Falls and back. When we got back Eric said he just got a parking spot!

We stopped briefly at Sakatah but with out a bike it really isn't fun. We finished the day at Minneopa. We checked out the fairly new bison area. The bison were far away. :( We also stopped by the waterfall. And like Nerstrand...it was packed!  Busy weekend at the MN state parks.
