Gooseberry Falls State Park

The park features multiple waterfalls formed by the Gooseberry River as it flows through volcanic rock formations toward Lake Superior.

Established in 1937, the park infrastructure was developed through the efforts of the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression.

The park structures represent Minnesota's rustic architecture style, earning recognition in the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.

Visitors can access 18 miles of hiking trails connecting the waterfalls, lake shore, and forest areas throughout all seasons.

The five distinct waterfalls of Gooseberry River drop 100 feet in elevation over basalt ledges before reaching Lake Superior.
