Tettegouche State Park
Overview
Step into the park and view the rushing waters of the Baptism River as they cleave a 1.1-billion-year-old, rugged rhyolite ridge that rises over the Lake Superior shoreline. Hike to waterfalls surrounded by high cliffs that are the result of the water’s work upon the rock. See where the Baptism River spills into Lake Superior and adds its water to the world’s largest freshwater lake. The park’s semi-mountainous terrain offers you numerous overlooks of Lake Superior and the surrounding landscape. This unique area was protected as a state park in 1979.
In the heart of the park, on the shores of Mic Mac Lake, Tettegouche Camp was built over a hundred years ago. You can rent any of the four original, rustic log cabins for an overnight stay or use the lodge, built in 1911, for a unique picnicking site (hike-in only). Experience the quiet Northwoods wonder that has captivated humans through the centuries.
