Birch Coulee Battlefield and Park

Minnesota may not be exotic or tropical, unless you grew up in the tropics, then it would be exotic. We do have natural features that give the tropics a run for the money. I think it would be a mistake not to include places to visit that are an exception to the flat prairie that dominates southwest and south central Minnesota.

Birch Coulee is a small park off of US HWY 71 in Renville County. There is not much there, but if you are in the Redwood Falls area it is a place to check out.
