Schoolcraft State Park, Minnesota state park with Mississippi River access in Cass and Itasca counties, United States.
The 225-acre park features wooded areas along the Mississippi River, offering multiple trails through dense forest and riverbank landscapes.
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources established Schoolcraft State Park in 1959 to preserve the natural environment along the Mississippi River.
The park carries the name of Henry Schoolcraft, who documented the source of the Mississippi River with guidance from Anishinabe people.
Visitors can reserve any of the 30 campsites through an online system or by phone from April to September for overnight stays.
The park sits at a section where the Mississippi River widens, creating excellent conditions for kayaking and canoeing activities.
