Soudan Underground Mine State Park
Soudan Underground Mine State Park isn’t what most travelers expect when they think about a state park. It doesn’t offer any camping facilities, the relatively small amount (5 miles) of hiking trails are not especially challenging, and the picnic area is…well, just a picnic area. But Tower-Soudan isn’t just another state park; it is a unique piece of Minnesota’s history.
