Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and recognized as a U.S. Historic District, Whitewater State Park is one of the more unique outdoor spaces to explore while in Minnesota.

The park preserves a stretch of whitewater river which is surrounded by scenic rocky bluffs. Other aspects you’ll come across in the 2,700-acre park are the historic facilities which date back to the 1930s which were used for politics/ government, entertainment, and landscape architecture. You can take part in excellent trout fishing throughout the year, see the spectacular wildflowers in the spring, or hike the rugged trails to the scenic bluff land.
