The secret to finding this close-in MN State Park is taking the Post Road exit from Hwy 5 near the airport. It's another 2.5 miles past the permit entrance to the beautiful visitor center and all important restrooms. Not as muddy as warned, but too much brown for this visitor's eye. The result: only one photo-op of one of our largest gatherings. Post-hike picnic at Deb and Jocko's in Highland Park for hikers and bikers sans bikers!
