Get DirectionsAbout
Tucked away in the scenic hills of southeastern Minnesota, this is an excellent park for viewing spring wildflowers. A blue-ribbon trout stream is a major visitor attraction. Sit quietly in the campground by the stream or hike the 8 mi of trails and explore the many overlooks. The park is only 1 mile from the Barn Quilt tour route.
Beaver Creek Valley State Park is known for its clear streams fed by the "Big Spring." Its streams are home to brown and native brook trout. In spring, wildflowers that blanket the woodland hills and valleys attract migratory songbirds like the rare Acadian flycatcher, Cerulean warbler, and Louisiana waterthrush. These birds nest in the park. A hiking trail meanders along the stream and up into a maple-basswood and oak forest. Campers are lulled to sleep by the murmuring stream.

There are great trails to go along with the camping sites. We spent a night at the end of October (in our small motorhome) and while the leaves were all off the trees and it was chilly at night, it...

Nice little "out of the way" destination.
I was there a couple times when I was a bit younger, but still remember if fondly.
The trails were great.
I had to lie about the last visit though, it's been...

I stopped at this state park and was pleasantly surprised. Although it is a more remote state park it had some greasy features. There is a cool bridge going over the trout stream. The Big Spring...

Very pleasant park. Campsites both electric and non. Trails by streams, trails up a slope. Wildflowers at the end of April. Not so many birds end of April, or I was doing it wrong.
