Let’s visit Minnesota’s Bluff Country and camp at Whitewater State Park from September 28 to October 1.
I reserved group campsites #2 and #3 from Thursday to Sunday, September 28 to October 1 (three nights). We should have plenty of room to spread out. Site #2 is larger and has a trail to cart-in from the parking lot to the site. Site #3 is smaller and is next to the parking lot. Each site has a picnic shelter with electricity and access to a modern restroom/shower building.
Activities:
- Fall colors
- Hike the 20 miles of trails within the park. Some of the trails go up and down the bluffs and are steep and challenging with stairs, but there are flatter trails in the valley floor as well.
- Climb the fire tower in nearby Elba
- Swim in the river at the beach within the park
- Visit the Whitewater Wines winery
- Take a side trip to Carly State Park
- Socialize at local bars and restaurants in nearby Altura, Elba, and St. Charles
