As Minnesotans prepare for the summer season, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is sharing information to help campers plan their adventures.
“Spending time outdoors is a favorite Minnesota tradition, and camping is a popular activity in our state,” said Ann Pierce, director of the DNR’s Parks and Trails Division. “Camping is a wonderful way to connect with nature, relax, unwind and making lasting memories with family and friends. To help people plan stress-free summer adventures, we’ve rounded up some of our best planning tips for camping trips. We can’t wait to welcome folks to Minnesota’s great outdoors this summer!”
