The Mississippi National River and Recreation Area is located in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area with Interstates 35 and 94 providing access. This park is 72 miles long and provides hiking, biking, fishing and boating opportunities. The Grand Portage National Monument is located in the very northeastern tip of the state on the border with Canada. Visitors can learn about the fur trade and the Ojibwe people and they can also hike the trails. Pipestone National Monument is located in the southwestern corner of the state near the South Dakota border. Interstate 90 is to the south. The red pipestone found at this site is used to make prayer pipes that were sacred to the Indian people.
