Schoolcraft State Park

Map of Schoolcraft State Park

About

The park is named after Henry Schoolcraft, who was guided by the Anishinabe, to the source of the Mississippi River at Lake Itasca. The Mississippi River is a little wider as it flows through the park, but this is a much quieter spot than the busy Headwaters. Hikers, campers, and canoeists enjoy a nice view of the river from the park.
