Maplewood State Park is a naturalist's paradise! The park has about 25 miles of hiking trails and if you are quiet, you can spot lots of wildlife. The park boasts over 150 species of birds and well over 50 species of mammals. For those not so inclined to hike the trails, the park also has a beautiful scenic drive. On this trip my family stopped for a short visit after a piano ensemble festival in Detroit Lakes and on our way to Fargo so we didn't venture out on the trails, instead, electing the drive. However, from past experience, I can say the wildlife here is worth the hike, plus, there are many kinds of trees, from red cedar, sugar maples, dogwood, oaks, and tamaracks. A visit in the fall will result in an amazing palette of color!On this trip, you will also see snow in the pictures. We had a little snowball fight in the park because, believe it or not, we did not have snow further north where we live. See all the fun you can have at Maplewood State Park? Come try it out for yourself!
