This was one of my favorite state parks on North Shore, not as busy with more challenging trails but worth it. The falls and cascades are beautiful and the hike to Lookout Mountain is totally worth it.

We stayed at Cascade River Lodge, hiked right from there into the state park. Didn't Lookout loop first. Nice to get the harderpart down first. Beautiful views at the stop. Seen a deer drinking in the river. The falls was breathtaking!

We loved our hike up to the falls here. Something about hiking along flowing water always has me so happy and energized. This was a nice easy hike. Was not crowded at all and was very scenic the whole way. I would love to explore this area more in the future.

It was a beautiful trail, however signage was a bit iffy. We never really found the loop part of the hikers club trail because we didn’t see any sign indicating where the rest of it was after the look out point. We kept heading west, but eventually turned around. Also not very certain as to where the arrows are pointing, or lack of arrows. There was one point where we followed the hikers club arrows and we ended up out of the state park, and we turned around at that point as well. But other than that it was pretty.

Questions & Answers

I am aware of their designated camping areas, but am curious on if they allow car camping in the designated parking lot if you're paying the nightly parking fee?

car camping is allowed, Is just that you need to make the reservation in advance to guarantee the space.

What kind of camping do they have there

They have pull-in sites and some of the coolest backpack sites on the North shore. They are right on the shore of Superior, just feet from the shore.

We are camping at backpack site 1 next week and are wondering if there is firewood out there already or if we have to hike it in? I have tried calling the park but keep getting the answering machine and they won't respond to messages left.

They dont like you bringing in firewood from different locations. As long as you buy it there or in that county you should be fine.
