Fort Snelling park closed

Even if the fish aren’t biting, the ducks aren’t flying and the pheasants aren’t flushing, Doug Smith says any day spent outdoors is a good day. A Minnesota native, he’s been covering the outdoors for the Star Tribune since 1995. He considers walleyes fried over a campfire to be gourmet cuisine.

Fort Snelling State Park in St. Paul has been closed until further notice because of rising water levels on the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers, which surround the park.

The park will remain closed until further notice.

The "Maple Syruping in Your Backyard" programs scheduled to take place at the park on March 20, 21, 27, and 28 have been canceled, as has the "Clean Your Park Day" event on April 17.

The DNR advises calling the park at 612-725-2389 or checking the Visitor Alert on the park’s Web page at mnstateparks.info for updates before visiting.
