By Logan Wells, News Director | Logan@kymnradio.net

Looking for a way to celebrate the Fourth of July? Minnesota’s state parks, recreation areas, and trails offer the perfect backdrop for a holiday getaway. Whether it’s hiking, biking, or just soaking in the scenery, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the outdoors this Independence Day.

“On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the holiday weekend, we have more than 90 different events happening in state parks that folks can participate in.” -Sara Berhow, DNR Spokesperson (Audio courtesy of the Minnesota News Network)

Within an hour of Northfield, there are several state parks, including Nerstrand Big Woods and Sakatah Lake.
