The best camping near Charles A. Lindbergh State Park guide

Overview

About

Come fly with us, we’ll float down to the banks of the Mississippi River to Charles A. Lindbergh State Park! The property was once the farm of its namesake congressman, father to the famous aviator who spent his childhood here (and some say, where he spotted his first airplane). The farm and town of Little Falls became destinations after C.A. junior flew the first-ever transatlantic solo flight in the late 1920s. The historic water tower and picnic shelters were built shortly after, in rustic New Deal construction using local stone and logs. After checking out the park’s historic buildings, take one of several hiking trails that weave through monumental oak and pine, and be on the lookout for owls, geese, fox, and bald eagles year-round. Who knows, maybe you’ll even spot a plane overhead!

When to go

The ideal time to visit Charles A. Lindbergh State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer offers lush greenery, but be prepared for busier trails and warmer temperatures. Winter can be harsh, so check conditions if you're planning a cold-weather visit.

  • Highway 67 is closed; follow alternative directions provided for park access.
  • Check the park's website for the latest updates on trail closures and safety advisories.
  • Remember, GPS apps may not have updated road closure information—use provided coordinates.
  • For any inquiries, contact the park at 651-296-6157.
  • Sign up for event updates to stay informed about what's happening in the park.
