Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge is a corridor of land and water stretching along the Minnesota River. The Refuge stretches over 50 miles from Fort Snelling State Park beyond Belle Plain, Minnesota. Comprised of more than 14,000 authorized acres, the Refuge has multiple Units, offering a variety of free outdoor recreational experiences for individuals and families.
Each unit offers a variety of attractions and seasonal activities. Individual units may have special regulations, as well as private land within their boundaries. In addition to this webpage, please refer to brochures available at trail heads and the Visitor Center for details about the individual units.
