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!

…
Scientific and Natural Areas are
public lands open to recreational activities that do not disturb natural conditions, such as birdwatching, nature photography, and hiking. SNAs are established for their outstanding ecological features, which we want people to enjoy. You may see management activities such as prescribed burns and control of invasive species. Research equipment is also sometimes seen on sites.

…
Please read and follow these visiting guidelines as well as the specific recreational opportunities provided at individual SNAs (things you can do and rules). Working together, we can keep these unique places healthy and available for everyone to visit and enjoy.
