Beaver Falls County Park

Beaver Falls County Park, located in the beautiful Minnesota River Valley, is divided into two parts: the horse camp and the recreation area. The horse camp features wooded ravines, horse ties, manure bunkers and Beaver Creek. The upper half features the Beaver Creek Recreational Area. Both areas consist of shelters, restrooms, water, fire pits and ample multi-use trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding. Beaver Creek was formed when the Minnesota River Valley was carved into the landscape by the massive Glacial River Warren.
