We will be in SW Mn in a couple of weeks. Is there anything worth visiting?

Blue Mounds State Park is nice.

We love Lake Shetek State Park in SW Minnesota. Our favorite place for fall camping. Full hook-up campground (Sunrise Campground) Very nice hiking trails. Not very far from the sites other responses have recommended.

The Southeast corner of the state is more interesting...I'd suggest a trip over that way if time permits. Root River Bike Trail is excellent as are the neighboring towns including Lanesboro. Along the river, Wabasha and the National Eagle Center are a nice site. The Mississippi and bluffs are spectacular, many neat river towns. Lots of camping options. Whitewater State Park is a favorite.

Slip across the boarder into the Iowa Great Lakes, aka Okoboji. Plenty to do there!

If you are close to New Ulm go see the Herman the German statue.

The LAURA INGALLS WILDER MUSEUM in Walnut Grove is about the only thing I can think of now.
