Gov. Tim Walz and Minnesota DNR are encouraging Minnesotans to get out in nature and enjoy the state’s outstanding outdoor opportunities by proclaiming June 2023 as Great Outdoors Month.
June 9-11 is the annual Take a Kid Fishing weekend, when Minnesotans 16 or older who take a child 15 or younger fishing don’t need a fishing license. More information is available at mndnr.gov/takeakidfishing.
June 10-11 is also a no-registration riding weekend on motorized state and Grant-in-Aid trails. This weekend allows Minnesotans with ATVs registered for private or agricultural use to ride public trails without paying the registration fee. Find ATV trails at mndnr.gov/ohv/map.html.
On Saturday, June 10, the DNR will also host a Free Park Day, which allows free entry to all 75 state parks and recreation areas in Minnesota.
