Magney-Snively Natural Area is a forest park located in the city of Duluth, Minnesota and partly in Midway Township. Officially Magney Park and Snively Park, the two parks form the largest single tract of protected forest owned by the City of Duluth, and are named in honor of two of its former mayors: Samuel F. Snively and Clarence R. Magney, who were pivotal in the creation of many of the city's parks and protection of its forests. [1]
