Terms of use

Effective November 11, 2026. By using minnesotatrip.com you agree to these terms.

Planning information, not a guarantee

MNTRIP guides are general planning information drawn from official sources and checked on the date shown on each guide. Fees, hours, rules, closures, trail conditions and reservation systems change, sometimes without notice. Always confirm with the agency or business that runs a place (linked in each guide) before you go. The site is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, including accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose.

Outdoor trips carry risk

Hiking, paddling, camping, ice and winter travel, cliffs, waterfalls and Lake Superior all carry real risk of injury or death. You are responsible for your own safety: check the weather and current conditions, follow posted rules and closures, stay behind railings and off unstable rock and ice, and carry what you need. A guide describing a trail or route does not mean it is safe for you or open on the day you go.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, MNTRIP is not liable for any loss, injury or damage arising from your use of the site or your reliance on anything published on it.

Links to other sites

Guides link to agencies, businesses and other sites we don't control. We aren't responsible for their content, availability or practices, and a link isn't an endorsement.

Content and photos

The text, design and logo of MNTRIP are ours. You're welcome to link to any page and quote short passages with a link back. Photos are not ours: each is used under its own open license (Creative Commons or public domain) and credited on the page with a link to the license, and you may reuse a photo only under the terms of that license.

No affiliation

MNTRIP is an independent site. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Explore Minnesota, the National Park Service or any other agency or business it writes about.

Governing law and changes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota. We may update them by posting a new version here. Questions: hello@minnesotatrip.com.
