Savanna Portage State Park
Savanna Portage State Park, State park and historic site in Aitkin County, Minnesota, United States
The park spans across forests and wetlands, featuring extensive hiking trails and diverse ecological zones within its protected boundaries.
Established in 1961, this area served as a vital transportation route for Native Americans and fur traders crossing between Lake Superior and Mississippi River.
The land preserves traditional portage paths where Indigenous peoples carried canoes and goods between watersheds for generations.
Visitors can access camping facilities, hiking trails, and fishing spots throughout the year, with interpretive programs available at the park center.
