One of the most fascinating waterfalls on the North Shore! The gorges the water runs through are amazing. Rough terrain getting to them. Not meant for inexperienced hikers but the walking and bike trails gets you to the main falls.

Beautiful experience. Liked the location and how the campsites were far from each other like you don’t have to worry about waking up the family camping next to us. Very spacious and well kept campground. The restrooms and showers were clean and nearby too from our site #7. Would definitely recommend it.

Roll the dice if you’re going to try, go all the way. otherwise, don’t even start. if you’re going to try, go all the way. this could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs and maybe your mind. go all the way. it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days. it could mean freezing on a park bench. it could mean jail, it could mean derision, mockery, isolation. isolation is the gift, all the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. and you’ll do it despite rejection and the worst odds and it will be better than anything else you can imagine. if you’re going to try, go all the way. there is no other feeling like that. you will be alone with the gods and the nights will flame with fire. do it, do it, do it. do it. all the way all the way. you will ride life straight to perfect laughter, it’s the only good fight there is. -Charles Bukowski

One of the prettiest state parks in Minnesota. If you ever visit from out of state its worth the drive and visit. Hikes and trails for every skill level with beautiful views of the north shore and glacier region.
