See the Bison Herd Up Close

Few parks offer what Minneopa does: a chance to see a free-roaming herd of bison in a natural prairie setting. The Bison Drive takes you through a 331-acre enclosure where you can observe these massive animals from the comfort of your vehicle. Interpretive signs along the route explain the significance of the herd and the prairie restoration efforts underway.

Trail Systems and Historic Sights

Minneopa’s hiking trails are just as inviting as its campgrounds. You can explore miles of well-maintained trails that pass through tallgrass prairie, oak savannas, and blufftop overlooks of the Minnesota River.
