The City of New Ulm is just a few blocks away. My favorite activity is cross-country skiing. I try to ski everyday. I've skied eight days so far. The park grooms the trails when there is enough snow. So far there hasn't been enough snow for the park to groom, but skiers have made excellent tracks. With the recent meltdown it will take some new snow to rejuvenate the tracks. The skiing here is traditional tracks. The park rents cross-country skis and snowshoes. Kids sixteen years old and younger ski free, but adults are required to buy a cross country ski pass. The ski pass helps support cross country skiing at a number of Minnesota State Park and other sites. Call the park or check its website for trail conditions.

Flandrau is a good overall Minnesota state park. Located on the Cottonwood River, it is a quick drive from downtown New Ulm. They have a man made swimming pond here, but every time I've been this year it has not been filled. I'm sure why they have not opened it this year. The park has some nice elevation change on their hiking trails and nice views of the river. I almost always see deer here.

We did some hiking, swimming and sitting around at camp. We used a site with electricity, and enjoyed the fact that it was peaceful even though the campsites were full. The bathrooms were clean and worked as intended. We also enjoyed that the staff were extremely helpful.

Flandrau State Park is a quiet spot right in New Ulm that feels like you're far from town. The hiking trails are short but scenic, with wooded paths and some nice overlooks. The sand-bottom swimming pond is clean and great for cooling off in summer. The campground is well-kept and works great for campervans—quiet, simple, and easy to access. A solid place to unwind without going far from Mankato,... Flandrau State Park is a quiet spot right in New Ulm that feels like you're far from town.
