 | | Pine County is also home to several of Minnesota's parks and forests including Banning State Park, Nemadji State Forest, St. Croix State Park, St. Croix National Scenic Riverway, Chengwatana State Forest, Moose Lake State Park, and General Andrews State Forest. |
 | | Recent landfill closures (e.g., Korf Brothers Sanitary Landfill north of Pine city in 1989) and the increasing population and increasing volume of solid waste necessitate the development of a new landfill in the near future. |
 | | However, large portions of the county are underlain by lake, marsh, or stream waters, and thus are unsuitable for solid waste landfill. |
