Location

Lake Maria State Park is located west of Monticello, MN. From the Twin Cities area, take I-94 northwest out of the Cities to Monticello. Take exit 193 (State Hwy 25). Turn left on MN-25, go across I-94, and turn right onto Chelsea Rd. After 1 1/2 miles, turn left onto County Road 39. Follow Cty Rd 39 for 5 1/2 miles to Clementa Ave NW, and turn right. The park will be on your left. There is a state park entrance fee for vehicles entering the park. Once inside the park watch for O-Meet signs! 

Come Clean Leave Clean

The Minnesota Orienteering Club practices a Come Clean Leave Clean policy. This helps us maintain a good relationship with the parks we utilize, sets a good example for other users, and limits the transfer and spread of many of the plants that make our venues less enjoyable.

Volunteer

It takes a handful of volunteers to make each of our events successful. If you would like to learn more about volunteering, please see our Volunteering page. MNOC would like to thank you for volunteering. We have a limited number of $5 REI gift cards for each meet to give thank you's to volunteers. If you would like one, please ask the race director.
