                             One of the first state parks I camped in was Nerstrand Big Woods                         
The campsites are very roomy and as you can see lots of trees (I like the parks with a lot of trees)
It is also the only place known where the Dwarf Trout Lily is found.

 
There is a very nice creek that meanders through the park. 
 
and Hidden Falls is an easy hike in. 
 
Keep an eye out for this tree and if anybody can figure out just how this happened let me know.
Then again the mystery is half the fun.
This tree is right alongside one of the many trails. 
The do have a playground here for the kids and with 11 miles of trails to walk you can keep pretty busy.  If you want to go into town you are only a few miles from Northfield. Lots of history here and let's hope the James Younger gang doesn't come back through town! (A bit of history)
