Franz Jevne State Park is one of Minnesota's smaller parks, however, its 118 acres are loaded with scenic beauty. The park sits on State Highway 11 a ways east of Baudette. It offers amazing views of the Rainy River and, on the other side of the river, Canada's Ontario Province. The park boasts a short trail through its gorgeous birch and jackpine forest and some very cool rock outcrops. It may be a small park but its full of big memories. It even has a secluded campground that offers stunning views of the river and if you stay quiet, lots of wildlife. Check it out! Oh- I should mention- The park is named after a gentleman named Franz Jevne, who was a lawyer in nearby International Falls. After his passing, his sons donated the land to the state. Since Franz Jevne was instrumental in the development of the Rainy River area it was suiting to name the park in his honor.
