Decidedly not a guidebook, Prairie Lake Forest takes a more insightful approach to exploring Minnesota’s state parks. Vibrant photographs are paired with commentary from those intimately familiar with each location—everyone from parks workers and rock climbers to anglers and the author recount their own unique experiences. In this photographic journey through the state you’re sure to learn something new about your favorite Minnesota spots. – Kate Watson
