Location: Iowa | I have been hearing from various people that the Minnesota DNR shut down all the state parks and state facilities in Minnesota because there is no new budget in place yet...I was told that as of last Thursday night at midnight they closed all state facilities and parks...Will this effect access to lakes if it is true?...

| Parks are remaining open, but your reservations, if you have them, basically mean nothing as there will be no state employees there to enforce anything. the parks are operating on a first come, first served basis right now and there is no fee to get in the park. you can still get to the lakes that are in the parks. |
