Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) opened its seasonal rest areas Monday, June 22. The rest areas did not open this spring due to COVID-19.
Northeast Minnesota seasonal rest areas include Knife River, McGregor, Big Sandy, Independence, Cut Face Creek and Cross River.
All Class 2 rest areas are open, including the Mount Josephine rest area in Grand Portage, which the DNR maintains for MnDOT.
These locations have limited resources, no running water and are primarily on recreational routes. MnDOT has installed hand-sanitizing stations at each of the rest areas.
