How about a road trip?

Minnesota Scientific & Natural Areas: Get lost in the beauty of MinnesotaSNAs with this route – literally! There are four SNAs with the word “lost” in their names, and this seven-hour route connects them all. The route starts up north with Lost Lake Peatland SNA and Lost River Peatland SNA. After that, take a short drive south to the old growth pines at Lost 40 SNA and round the trip out at Lost Valley Prairie SNA in southeast Minnesota. A word of caution though, peatlands are largely inaccessible by road, and extremely challenging to traverse on foot. Prepare wisely, as this route is a challenging adventure!
