Moose Lake State Park, State park in Carlton County, Minnesota.
Moose Lake State Park is a natural area in Carlton County featuring forests, wetlands, and two main lakes for fishing and boating activities. The park includes multiple hiking trails that wind through the various habitats and natural features.
The park was established in 1971 on land shaped by glacial processes during the last ice age. The two lakes were formed when melting ice blocks created depressions that filled with water.
The Agate Interpretive Center showcases the natural geology of Minnesota, featuring displays about the Lake Superior Agate and other minerals found in the region. Visitors can learn how the land's geological features shape what they see when exploring the park.
The park has camping facilities and boat rentals available for overnight visitors and those interested in water activities. A regional trail system connects the park to surrounding areas, making it easy to explore beyond the main grounds.
The park is home to notable bird species including Trumpeter Swans and Common Loons that make the water their habitat. These large waterfowl are regular visitors and add to the park's appeal for those interested in observing wildlife.
