Take Highway 65 north to Aitkin County Road 14, then follow 14 for 11 miles to the park.
It's a little past peak for Fall colors but still have some pretty yellows and the fallen leaves allow for easier views and wider vistas. Turkeys gawking, trumpter swans trumpetin, no 🐢 turtles twinklin today on the Hiking club trail. Comfortable 😎 cool out here. Not a bad day for a paddle at the campground lake Shumway.
This was one of the prettiest state parks I’ve been in. Gorgeous, autumn, colors, pretty lakes, and some wonderful, hiking opportunities. It’s in the middle of nowhere, which means it doesn’t get crowded. The day we were here, there was no one else around.I will definitely come back here.
Hands down one of our favorite state parks in MN. We have been to over 40 of the state parks so far and we keep coming back to this one. The trails are great. The little lakes have good fishing and water activities. The campsites are nice. The fall colors are beautiful as well!!
This was a moderate hike due to the two inches of crispy snow and sporadic tree roots popping up. It's a very cool place to visit. It's unbelievably quiet when there are no birds singing and no crowds of people. The only noise comes from two hikers enjoying the day...and an occasional partridge.
