Located on the southeast corner of Lake Mille Lacs, off Highway 27. The parks hiking trails follow the Mille Lacs shoreline as well as winding through a second-growth hardwood forest. Spring hikers enjoy a colorful array of wildflowers, and abundant sugar maples provide a particularly beautiful autumn surrounding.

Watch for beaver, raccoon, mink and deer in the snow or soft earth, listen to squirrels and chipmunks scurry in the leaves and anticipate ruffed grouse to explode into the air as you walk the trails. You may even catch a glimpse of the albino deer.

Suggested Birding Areas: Wetland area near the park entrance.
Mille Lacs shoreline trails. Woodland trails.

Awesome shots Peter! It's time for a helmet / video cam; that would be great!

The Albino buck was very cool. There were about eight of us rigging in the parking lot when he appeared in the woods; 50 yards away. He was checking us out! The white ghost was strutting as he prowled back & forth, then would freeze for a little while, with his red eyes peering at us & ears moving. He kept his distance margin from us as we inched forward to get a better look.

Perhaps he was protecting his harem???

What a stud...

Great shots! I was lucky enough to see two of the albino doe when I showed up early that day. I guess there's 3 or 4 albino doe and the buck you guys got to see. Thanks for capturing the energy of the day.
