Fort Snelling State Park, Twin Cities

Fort Snelling State Park is a massive 3,711 acres. It features miles of trails and the historic Fort Snelling built in the 1820's. The Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers converge in this park and trails go through a handful of lakes. Vehicles require park permits which cost only $25 a year or $5 a day. Within the first hour of being at the park I saw 6-7 deer. Here are some pics:
