Throughout Minnesota, there are plenty of mysteries waiting to be solved and unusual spots waiting to be explored. From natural wonders to man-made oddities, we found some of the most perplexing places around that are the perfect place for your next adventure. These weird places in Minnesota definitely belong on your bucket list!

1. Blue Mounds State Park, Luverne

Blue Mounds State Park is not only under-appreciated for its sheer beauty, but there is also an unusual, perfectly aligned east-west line of rocks in the southern end of the park. The sunrise and sunset line up with this rock formation on the first day of spring and fall without fail. It is still unknown who built the formation, or the definitive reason why. Visit the website for the most up-to-date information about park hours and permits.

Address: 1410 161st Street, Luverne, Minnesota, 56156

2. Iona's Beach, Two Harbors

At Iona's Beach Scientific and Natural Area, the unique pebbles are not only beautiful, but known to make a rare, almost musical, noise as the water hits the shore and moves them about often called "singing". If you've never been to a singing beach, it's a must-do. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources website has the most up-to-date information on the beach available.

3. Devil's Kettle Falls, Grand Marais

Devil's Kettle is an usual phenomena where the Brule River splits and half disappears into the Earth, seemingly forever. We don't know where it ends up. Weird.

Address: Superior Hiking Trail, Grand Marais, Minnesota, 55604

4. Runestone County Park, Kensington

We previously mentioned the funny little museum in Alexandria that tells the story of the controversial Kensington Runestone, but even more exciting to explore is the site of the discovery itself in Runestone County Park. Nobody could ever agree whether the runestone was real or not, and you'll find yourself imagining all the possibilities as you read through the information about the replica that sits in the park today. What do you think?

5. Old Hibbing

Many don't know the story about how the entire town of Hibbing was once mobile, and ended up moving substantially to allow for the expansion of the Hull Rust Mine. Visiting the area today is definitely an unusual experience, and you can explore what's left of the town's foundation pre-1920s.

6. Grand Mound, International Falls

In Koochiching County, this prehistoric burial ground is the largest in the US and absolutely fascinating. The trail around the mound has been closed since 2007, but some are pushing to reopen it, making sure that it is presented in a new way that appropriately educates visitors about the sacredness of the site. The site's use dates back as far as 200 BC, and was created by a group now called the Laurel Indians. The website is full of valuable information if you're hoping to visit.
