    Never been so confused at a state park before. We told the young woman working in the entrance that we were there for the first time trying to find trails and she was really unhelpful. And then the signs were even less helpful. All the trail junctions are marked with a map - the same map, with no indication of where on that map you are. To make matters worse, there are two main 5 - 6.5 mile trails that run through the park. Those trails show on the map, but their names are not on there, although there are separate trail markers with their names on the trails. We were wandering around lost - I knew what trails I wanted to go to (Mounds Trail and Quarry Trail) but I never actually found them. We needed to actually leave where we parked and drive outside the park where there are two other entrances to access the areas we were interested in. And it wasn't just us - we ran into another couple in two different areas of the park, equally confused.

    All that said, Blue Mounds has a lot to offer, including a bison herd that we were able to view pretty up close. They have tall grass prairie, so the herd lives on its natural environment. There are quartzite cliffs and an old quarry, I was able to go up to the cliffs and hike by them, then go up onto the ridge itself but I had to backtrack to get down, couldn't find another way.

    Even if they had someone go out with a sharpie and mark "you are here" on the trail maps, it would be a huge help. Coordinating the names of the trails on the map and the names on the trail markers would be another big improvement. And having someone working there who is engaged and helpful would have been a plus. In the brochure it says "if you only have an hour, hike the Quarry Trail". Never found it, on the map or on the ground, although I hiked right around it on other trails.

    So glad we decided to stop in here. Brandenburg’s photography is awe inspiring. My husband and I are nature photographers as well and our visit to this gallery has inspired us to take a little more time on our travels back to Texas. We are falling in love with Luverne!

    This is a great brewery! It has tons of seating inside and out. Very kid friendly with plenty of games for them or to play with your friends. The beer here is good and was great sitting outside enjoying a beautiful day with some great beer.

    The historical center is best known for the 6,100 nutcracker collection in recent years. There is much more more here besides. The museum also sponsored several 7 foot high nutcrackers along main street. Most of the nutcrackers are not actually functional, but they have the style of nutcrackers. The varieties include pirates, animals, many sports, Halloween characters and much more. The gift shop offers t shirts and a wide variety of nutcrackers for sale.
    The other displays include a large doll collection and a car from Luverne Automobile with a working horn and bell. If you have the opportunity for a guided tour, take it. You can learn things about the exhibits not mentioned in the explanatory exhibit info. We heard the pump organ being played.

    Luverne respects its military heroes. This Museum is nicely furnished and very well kept and its adjacent to the best Veteran's Memorial you will find in any small town, Outstandign!

    Nice little chapel. Was with my sons and we checked out the place. The chapel was obviously small but fit 3 of us easily and was a nice place to reflect for a little bit. Very easy to find as you are driving to Blue Mounds

    A wonderful small welcome space to check out art. Unexpected in a small town like Luverne but worth the stop.

    I come here at least once every summer if not more. It is a very large park with so many playground options. There are three large playground equipment areas, 4-5 seperate sets of swings, many different slides, a picnic area, grills for food, a volleyball court, a basketball court, a baseball field, and EXTENSIVE room to play other field games, as well as other playground equipment scattered around. It feels like multiple full-sized parks all in one area. It's encircled by a road that covers the entire perimeter of the park, it's great for walking or running. The park is also right next to the Rock river so you can enjoy nature while you visit. There is also a nice little book barn by the pine-trees on the West side of the park so you can borrow a book to read while you visit.

    Well maintained beautiful green space in a quiet neighborhood. Great place to relax with kids/teenagers. Great local brewery just down the road, Take 16, is a plus!

    If you are traveling with kids or pets, this is a very convenient park! It's right next to the fast food and gas stations at the Interstate 90 exit in Luverne. It has picnic tables and playground equipment for kids to enjoy and burn off some energy. It also has two fenced-in dog parks for your pets to run and exercise. Excellent parking and a very beautiful and well maintained park.
