Crow Wing State Park
Overview
Crow Wing State Park lies at the confluence of the Crow Wing and Mississippi rivers, which have been important canoe and trade routes for many people over time. In the mid-1800s, a bustling community existed here. Discover evidence of the park’s past by visiting the Old Crow Wing Town Site and Red River Oxcart Trail, both Historic Districts on the National Register of Historic Places. The park was in 1959 to preserve these significant pieces of Minnesota’s history. The 3,119-acre park also has a rich natural history with three of Minnesota’s major landscapes (pine, prairie and hardwood) containing diverse plants and wildlife.
