Blue Mounds State Park

Split Rock Creek State Park is a Minnesota state park located in Ihlen, Minnesota, about south of Pipestone. In 1938, the Works Progress Administration constructed a dam to create a lake, providing water recreation to a region of the state with few natural lakes.

Pipestone quarries, as well as a tourist center and a walking trail, are all sacred to many American Indians.

Unleashed Dog Park is located at 33890 733rd Ave, St. James, adjacent to Meadowlark Compost Site. Bring your dog to Unleashed Dog Park and make a day of it. This is not your typical dog park. This large park offers almost two acres of woodland and grassy play areas, ideal for a fetch game.

There are RV and tent campsites, as well as cabins, two of which are dog-friendly, at this pawesome park.

The park, first opened in 1887, is named for Henry Hastings Sibley, Minnesota's first governor. The park has previously housed a horse racing track, a regional zoo, a museum, a community band shell, clay tennis courts, and well-known gardens.
