Top Parks in Empire township, Dakota county, Minnesota, United states

Vermillion River WMA Parking 2

Address: Farmington, MN 55024, USA

Park

“Interesting place to visit, some good hiking in the woods and wildlife if you look for it. During deer hunting season in November, non-hunters should probably find some other place to go as there are many guns in the woods, or ware plenty orange and make some noise. The roads are basic dirt, can be messy and rutted when it rains.”

Vermillion Highlands

Address: 15325 Babcock Ave E, Rosemount, MN 55068, USA

Park

“Great place to hike or walk you dog (especially if he's always getting attacked at the dog park). There are some really beautiful trails, but don't forget to bring enough water.”

Dakota Woods Fee Dog Park

Address: 16470 Blaine Ave, Rosemount, MN 55068, USA

Park

“This place is great. I have had any issues with aggressive dogs and it seems everyone is really helpful and nice. Large areas for the dogs to run in. The walking trails are great and covered in wood chips so even after the rain, you don't get super muddy. Things to be aware of: 1. No water is provided. This means bring your own, to ensure fresh water. There are bowls for the dogs, and usually there is water in them...but that water can be very dirty. 2. Toys are technically not allowed. People will fuss at you if you bring them 3. In the evening (during the summer), the bats come out. They will swoop by your head. R. Make sure you and your dog have tick protection.”

Whitetail Woods Regional Park

Address: 17100 Station Trail, Farmington, MN 55024, USA

Park

“This is one of the most ideal places for the whole family to go and experience the best of outdoor life and nature in Dakota County. We’ve watched it develop and expand it walking, sledding, picnicking, enjoying a summer hammock, walking pets (on a leash), snowshoeing and Cross Country Skiing (pass required) opportunities. Its expansive 456-acres are located in Empire Township in the heart of Dakota County and are very well kept. Paths are nicely marked with a few instructions that make it easier for everyone to enjoy. We love reading the informative signs, too. Like the one that tells us “Most animals can detect smells, but they don’t all have noses!” It’s a year round spot for exercise and pleasure. It’s impressive how the park keepers have used naturally fallen trees to create park benches, bridges over wet area, play and viewing perks, as well as fun displays. Yesterday when on a solo walk I was enjoying the swans. They add so much grace and are stunning to hear and observe. Everywhere you look; there is some treasure about nature to take in. The observant eye may find stones, bark, birds, and tracks that make one wonder who has been here before us and is silently with us. We’ve had a close friend take a week in a camper cabins at Whitetail Woods Regional Park and that’s sounding enticing. I drove by and chatted with some campers and that had only good things to say. Everything done here seems to be down in the mode of “excellence”, making it ideal winter camping. Minnesota winters have wonderful color too – when you’re out in the woods. Parking is ample. The pavilion is expansive with an exceptional fire pit and grilling stations. The front space has lots of room for picnickers to enjoy the provisions and still be completely private for others at other tables.”

Stelzel Fields

Park

“Nice, well kept fields. Playground near ball field to keep young ones occupied. We were there on overcast fall day, but imagine on a sunny summer it would be hot. Not a single tree anywhere near the playing field.”
