Maplewood State Park is a Minnesota state park near Pelican Rapids. The park preserves a pre-contact habitation site that was occupied in two different periods (650-900 CE and 1450-1650) in a forest/prairie transition zone. Located in the Leaf Mountains, Maplewood encompasses over 9000 acres (36 km²) in Otter Tail County and is known for its hardwood trees including sugar maple, basswood, American elm, and oak, which together provide a stunning display of fall colors each year. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
