Schoolcraft State Park
Overview
Created in 1959, this 225-acre park is a wonderful place to escape. Quiet and peaceful, visitors have only the whisper of the wind through the pines to accompany their thoughts. Sit by the shore of the Mississippi River and watch the sunrise amid grasses, wild rice and beds of water lilies. The park was named for Henry Rowe Schoolcraft who charted the headwaters of the Mississippi River with Anishinabe guide Ozawindib. Today, there is much for you to discover here. Stay for a rustic camping experience, to fish the river, soak in scenic views, or wildlife watch.
