It is the time of year where many can start to feel cooped up in their homes, especially with more snow in the forecast this week in Northern Minnesota. Connie Cox of Itasca State Park says a trip to the park could be very beneficial to your physical and mental health this winter as we get ready for spring.

You can go to the Itasca State Park Webpage on the Minnesota DNR website at dnr.state.mn.us for more information on park services and amenities.
