Banning State Park, MN

Above is a group of Spring Beauties with several White Trout Lily plants, and other wildflowers. The first group of photos below were taken on April 27, 2006 at Banning State Park on the Quarry Loop Trail. This is a very nice walk in the spring. Warblers are in the trees, wildflowers coming up, and the Kettle River roaring along.

Banning State Park is located east off I-35, Exit #195. Follow signs to the park.

sections where they thrive.
