Visiting Minnesota state parks is probably the best way to see the state’s diverse wildlife. Each park has something to offer, from soaring eagles to hard-to-find moose to abundant white-tailed deer. Minnesota animals are great, and it’s always exciting to see them up close. But the Land of 10,000 Lakes is also home to plenty of interesting plant life.
