Find Fourth of July weekend fun at Minnesota state parks and recreation areasA family roasting marshmallows around a campfireMinnesota state parks and recreation areas are great places to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday. Whether you’re looking for a day trip or a full weekend enjoying nature, there is something everyone can enjoy.“Most Minnesotans live within 30 miles of one of our 73 state parks and recreation areas, and we encourage everyone to spend time outdoors during Fourth of July weekend,” said Ann Pierce, director of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Parks and Trails Division. “Visitors can relax, connect with nature and celebrate the holiday in a peaceful setting.”For those seeking a quieter celebration, parks and recreation areas could be the perfect fit, since the use of fireworks is prohibited in these areas.DNR’s ParkFinder tool (mndnr.gov/parkfinder) can help everyone find locations offering desired recreational opportunities.A few ideas for outdoor Fourth of July fun in one of Minnesota’s state parks or recreation areas include:Enjoy a day on the waterLooking to cool off on a hot summer day? More than 25 state parks and recreation areas have public swimming beaches (mndnr.gov/state_parks/starter_kit/beaches.html) to enjoy. From Lake Louise State Park in the south to Zippel Bay State Park in the north, there are beaches for everyone, no matter where you live.Visitors can also find canoe, kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals (mndnr.gov/state_parks/starter_kit/paddle.html) at many state parks. Most rentals cost $15/half day and $25/full day, though prices at parks that contract with a private concessionaire may vary.Visitors can also fish for free at most state parks, and many parks have equipment to lend. Learn more about fishing opportunities at state parks (mndnr.gov/state_parks/fishing.html) on the DNR website.During the holiday weekend, two state parks will offer programs to learn angling skills:Fishing Frenzy Friday, Lake Carlos State Park, July 3, 9-11 a.m.I Can Fish!, Whitewater State Park, July 4, 10 a.m.-noon; registration requiredStay overnight — book reservations now!Campgrounds are getting full for the weekend of July 3-5, but there are some sites still available.

Other state park lodgings – including camper cabins, yurts and guesthouses – are full for July 3-5.Those interested in camping over the holiday weekend can see current campsite availability at mndnr.gov/reservations. Users can also sign up for the “notify me” function on the reservation website to get an email alert if a cancellation meets their search criteria.Learn more about the outdoors through naturalist programs and toursNaturalist-led programs are offered at many parks.
