RV Rental Savanna Portage State Park, MN

Savanna Portage State Park is a place where you can stretch your muscles, relax, cool off, and learn new things. There are multiple trails to choose from, so you can opt for an easier one just to test if you have what it takes to finish a more challenging one. There are also pathways for mountain biking, so if you can conquer the craggy, hilly terrain, the park will reward you with a spectacular panoramic view.

The park is also home to multiple lakes where you can swim or just relax sunbathing on the shore. Loon Lake is typically packed with trout, and fishing is permitted, so pack your gear and your boat (rentals are also available at the park). These are brook trout, which are quite small, so you might need to catch a few or a dozen if you're planning a dinner for you and your friends or family.

Guests are encouraged to take a tour of the visitors' center. The place offers a lot of insight into the history and culture of this area. As stated the area was one of the main traders' routes for 200 years, and there are detailed historical descriptions on the interpretive displays, placed around the visitors' center.
