Nature Center of Austin Minnesota
Located right outside of Austin MN, this nature center was primarily funded by J.C Hormel, related to the Hormel family that founded the maker of Spam, Hormel.
This center is often frequented by school field trips and many friends just out for a walk. The entire nature center is photogenic and also includes a tower that you can climb to get a good view of the prairie.
If you want a good day trip then come to the Nature Center with some food for a picnic or just a walk around. The Center is full of trails ranging from prairie to evergreen woods, and just soft wooded areas. I love to run or jog through this place, I can't imagine the miles I've ran or walked in this place.
The guest center is also a great place to visit to learn about native americans from the area and all the animals the frequent the center. If you're lucky you might be able to see a feeding of their owl or hawk, both very beautiful birds. By far my favorite place in Austin MN is this nature reserve, please visit it.
If you do plan to spend a couple hours out here I'd strongly recommend bringing a hydro-flask, I never come here without mine. If you're interested in purchasing and want to help support me here is a link to the only water bottle you'll ever need.
