The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced four free park days for state parks and recreation areas in 2023. The DNR is waiving vehicle permit fees at all 75 state parks and recreation areas on April 22, June 10, Sept. 9 and Nov. 24th. Some parks also offer free programs open to all visitors; however, some require pre-registration.
According to Director of the DNR Parks and Trails Division, Minnesota state parks and recreation areas are open year-round, and there’s plenty of fun to be had in the outdoors in every season they hope by offering a series of free entrance days it will encourage Minnesotans to visit these special places to spend time enjoying the outstanding natural resources that the state of Minnesota has to offer. The American Psychological Association says being outside can improve attention spans and lower stress levels.
Most Minnesotans are within 30 miles of a state park or recreation area and have access to many activities like hiking, biking, camping, swimming and skiing, among others.
