Flandrau State Park is nestled in a beautiful valley created by the winding Cottonwood River in New Ulm, Minnesota. The park’s 982 acres feature marshes, wet and dry prairie, a river, and flora that includes willow, American elm, sugar maple, bur oak, aspen trees, and Indian and big bluestem grasses. The park is an important sanctuary for local wildlife; many animal species can be seen here including white-tailed deer, gray foxes, coyotes, and beavers. During the warmer months, the park’s eight miles of picturesque trails are perfect for walking, running, and hiking. During the winter, two miles of trail are available for snowshoeing, and six miles for cross-country skiing.
