Did you know there’s a variety of free stuff that can be checked out at most Minnesota state parks? It’s true!*

■ GPS units can be used to participate in the statewide Geocaching Program that involves hunting for hidden treasure

■ Fishing Kits include a rod, a reel and a stocked tackle box. (It’s up to you to add the fish!)

■ Birding Kits include binoculars, guide books and bird lists that are unique to each state park
