Blue Mounds State Park

If you are looking for a day trip or even a weekend trip somewhere, you may want to consider Luverne, Minnesota. Luverne is home to Blue Mounds State Park, a beautifully maintained area of land with a herd of over 100 bison (below).

There is a little bit of everything at Blue Mounds with excellent hiking, climbing, and biking opportunities. There is a 2.2-mile paved bike path, a 1-mile hiking trail, and a 13-mile hiking trail. There are also many great chances to rock climb. There is a great vertical wall (right) with many different routes one could choose.

Blue Mounds offers over 100 campsites of various needs, some full electric, some are just walk-in tent campsites

The Park is open year-round from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
