If you don't know where to look while you're at UMM, it can be virtually impossible to find outdoor recreational spaces. It gets even harder if a student doesn't have a car. To help share knowledge of where someone can get outside around Morris, we have created this section of the Morris Model website.
Below is a google based map showing the locations of a large number of places where someone connect to the natural world around Stevens county. If you want to explore the different kinds of outdoor recreational spaces around Morris, follow the buttons on the lower right. Those different subpages also contain a google based map showing only that category of outdoor places in addition to a comprehensive list of each place. Some of these places have printable PDF mini-maps and a general description of the area.

Wildlife Management Areas are areas which the DNR has set aside across Minnesota for wildlife and recreation! Many of them are on old farmsteads and around here are restored prairies!
