About Kilen Woods State Park
Land bordering the Des Moines River was set aside to form this park south of Windom, preserving a stretch of the river valley within Minnesota's state park system. The park offers 5 miles of hiking trails that follow the terrain along the water. Visitors can walk this network to take in the river corridor on foot, with the trail mileage giving a sense of how much ground the park covers.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
