Those of you who've known me for awhile know, probably 70% of my photos are taken down in this park. There's so much wild life down there; racoons, deer, mink, river otters, huge snappers, snakes (non-poisonous), chipmunks, squirrels, and birds of all kinds! It's 2,931-acres (11.86 km2) at the confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers. The strangest thing is, this park isn't miles from the city it is IN the cities. If you do a google maps search for MSP International Airport you will see Snelling Lake and the park region just opposite of the runways to the east of the highway. I tried to link it and it wouldn't work.
