Minnesota is home to many expansive forests. In fact, the state is covered in more than 17 million acres of forested land, according to the USDA. Each of these areas is filled with hiking trails, campsites, and thousands upon thousands of beautiful, clean lakes. But there are some forests that have a few more hidden secrets.
