Discover the natural splendor of General C.C. Andrews State Forest.
Anyone who visits General C.C. Andrews State Forest should know who the guy was. Andrews was a general in the Civil War and Minnesota’s first chief fire warden. Since his time, people have been working to keep this beautiful forest safe from fires, protecting the jack and red pines that cover most of the acres, along with the birch, aspen and oak trees. Thanks to the preservation of this land, you can enjoy a whole bouquet of outdoor activities, from ATVing to boating to hiking and horseback riding. This is eastern Minnesota wilderness at its finest.
The best time to visit General C.C. Andrews State Forest is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer offers lush greenery, but be prepared for busier trails and potential heat. Winters can be harsh, with some areas less accessible.
