Wild River State Park

The trails in this park are awesome. Very well maintained throughout the year. Truly a park of all seasons. Great hiking/biking/skiing and horse riding. It has a nice trail center and visitor center. Campgrounds are very spacious, big and nice and has some nice camper cabins and a small horse camp. Has nice day use areas and river access. Views of the river are good and there is ton of wildlife throughout the park. Really and underrated and under appreciated park.

Had a great time. The site was big and nicely shaded. Had good trees for hammocks. Lots of deer around, many trails.

My first camping visit was awesome! Be ready for sandy trails for the backpacking sites. Limited cell service. Vehicle passes are available in person or online only since June 2023.

Whatever the weather, Wild River is a great place to camp and hike! This is one of our favorite parks. Early spring offers the chance to see some darling wild flowers that get lost once the trees have all their leaves.

Great and helpful staff. Park office has a great store and lot of information for the park and MN state parks and trials. Still cold and with snow. Water pretty high on the river but safe to bike and hike. Campground with heated bathrooms for ladies and several potable water spots. It is a great park for families, dogs owners, and 1 hour from the cities. Gas station 10 minutes away has all you need (wood, propane, etc). April weather has mostly RV using the campground still some brave souls camping with a tent.
