WINONA COUNTY, Minn.-- If you don't want to break the bank on 'Black Friday' tomorrow, there's another opportunity for you and the family.
Four times a year the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is offering a free park pass day. Every year they hold four free pass days in accordance with different holidays. Since tomorrow is the day after Thanksgiving, anyone is allowed free access too any of the 75 Minnesota state parks.
For most Minnesotans there is a park within 30 minutes and luckily for those in the Coulee Region, the Great River Bluffs State Park is just under 30 minutes from La Crosse.
One DNR official says it's not only a fun activity for the family to utilize, but it's also great for your health.
"There's a huge body of research that shows us spending time in nature, regardless of the level of your physical activity, is good for our physical mental health," Sara Berhow, with the Parks and Trails Division, said.
If you can't make it out tomorrow, you will have four chances to use the 'Minnesota Free State Park Day' throughout 2024.
