Buffalo River State Park, Natural conservation area in Clay County, Minnesota.
The Buffalo River flows through woodlands and prairies across 1,200 acres, creating diverse ecosystems for native plants and animals to thrive.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources established this park in 1937 during the Great Depression to protect natural resources and provide recreation opportunities.
The park's structures showcase Minnesota's rustic architecture style, incorporating local materials and traditional building techniques that reflect regional heritage.
Visitors can access 12 miles of hiking trails, a 44-site campground, and multiple picnic areas equipped with modern facilities throughout the year.
The park connects to the 1,300-acre Bluestem Prairie Scientific and Natural Area, preserving one of Minnesota's largest remaining native grassland populations.
