Located in the heart of the Twin Cities, this park offers extensive hiking, bike, snowshoe, and ski trails that link to an extensive regional trail system. Canoe, fish, or swim on Snelling Lake, or hike on Pike Island where the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers meet. Interpretive exhibits at the Thomas C. Savage Visitor Center provide a good introduction to the history and resources of the park area. This is a day-use only park; no camping is available.
I have been visiting Fort Snelling State Park since the late 1970’s. This is such a great wildlife area located in the heart of the twin cities near the St. Paul/Minneapolis Airport. Below is a sample of the pictures over the years.
