FORT SNELLING STATE PARK REVIEWS
It’s always a new adventure here. From the birds,deer,parks and planes there’s always something and it never gets old to watch planes fly overhead!!! I recommend everyone to do this atleast once. I wish it was open a little later so I could star gaze but truly it’s a great place!
Great walking paths, a great area to return to nature within a short drive of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Numerous deer were along the trails and roads. Not far from the airport if you get delayed and need a spot to kill a couple hours. Nice trails and beautiful fall colors this time of year. Some very scenic areas and a nice beach area. Very dog friendly.
The renovation of the outside area including the stage area is beautiful. The free concerts this year have been so exciting and fun! So far a Swing band and Taiko Drumming!

BATTLE CREEK REGIONAL PARK TRAIL REVIEWS
I love this park mainly for the dog park as there is just so many hiking trails and it's fully tree-covered it makes it so beautiful. During the summer the dogs like going swimming in the pond and in the winter they just love running around everywhere with other dogs. With all the trails and tree coverings it's quite magical actually. I've yet to see a better dog park. The only downside is they do not provide doggie bags you have to bring your own but they do provide trash cans throughout.
Great park to bring the family. Outings. We like to park hop with the kiddos, & find new parks every week sometime few times a week. JUST BECAUSE WE CAN???? AND it makes them happy!
This park is amazing! There are a few ponds if your dog loves swimming and great trails. Some small through the woods, some larger groomed as well. There are also garbage cans, which I appreciate.

HIDDEN FALLS REGIONAL PARK REVIEWS
Scenic walking and cycling trails and challenging hiking trails. The swimming beach is well-visited; there were many families with their families and dogs. The boat ramp is easily accessible, but not so busy that you would wait for a long time. There were many people fishing. I even saw a person who had hung a hammock; she was reading book. Be sure to bring your own drinks and food because I didn't see vending machines. I enjoyed my short visit.
Love visiting Hidden Falls. I've never been down here when the river was so high! Almost up to the stone walls along the shoreline. Bring bug spray of you venture down while there's still so much standing water.
This is a great place to launch a boat and catch walleyes! It's all catch and release. Lots of trailer parking. Get there early to secure a spot!
