About
Sep 12, 2020 Flandrau State Park is in the heart of New Ulm, Minnesota. The park has semi-modern and rustic campgrounds. The park is also known for it's sandy bottom pool (but not open during COVID). This park is very shady, surrounded by mature trees. Each site comes with a picnic table and fire pit, and the park was well-maintained. The restrooms were closed when we were there, but a few porta-potties are available. Check in: 9/7/2020 |

About
Dec 15, 2018 Flandrau State Park, within the historic city of New Ulm, is a pleasant area with level trails and fantastic river and valley views of south-central Minnesota. The Cottonwood River presents a gorgeous background accompanying those who happiily hike these trails. Make sure to spend a bit of time and appreciate the area and its rich history of indigenous and settler peoples, particularly the Dakota Conflict of 1862. Schell's Brewery is another much recommended spot! |
