We like books; we like parks – and Minnesota is lucky to have both of them! Join our Goodreads book challenge: Armchair Travel to Minnesota State Parks.
We give you a link to each state park, a short fact, and a prompt for you to find a book. You find it, and read a book, and then tell us all about it.
In this podcast, we give you a few suggestions for books to fit a prompt for each park. Try one of these books, or find one of your own to enjoy!
Sibley State Park was established in 1919. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_par…
They have canoes and a canoe route for visitors to enjoy, so you can enjoy a book with canoes or kayaks and think about your own watery adventures!
