Flandrau State Park

The park extends along the Cottonwood River, featuring hiking trails, campgrounds, and natural spaces across its extensive recreational grounds.

Established in 1937 during the Great Depression, the park's structures were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Progress Administration teams.

The structures within the park reflect the German heritage of nearby New Ulm through their architectural design and construction methods.

Visitors can access camping facilities, with tent sites priced at $10, primitive camping at $9, and trailer camping at $25 per location.

During World War II, the park's WPA barracks served as Camp New Ulm, housing 160 German prisoners of war who worked in local canneries.
