Minnesota State Parks?

[+Milbank]

I have not been keeping up to date with things.

 

Someone emailed me last fall asking about one of my geocaches as they were looking for ones in Minnesota state parks.

 

When I replied that I did not have any in the Minnesota state parks because you could not put them there they replied that you could now.

 

So can I start placing them in the minnesota state parks?

 

Any special rules in doing so?

Good news for geocaching in minnesota parks.

 

Sounds like it maybe a bit more work then placing them here in South Dakota state parks, but its better then nothing..

You can also find the announcement and discussion in the MnGCA forums:

 

Caching in MN State Parks

 

Or on these forums:

 

Caching in MN State Parks

 

Basically caches are allowed. You have to work with the local park manager to place the cache (the process starts BEFORE you place the container).

 

The MnDNR also has a page for caching (which pretty much only contains the policy and forms).

 

Caches are also now allowed in MN State Forests:
