Take the trail that winds along the edge of the Temperance River gorge and enjoy the rushing waterfalls surrounded by pine, spruce, cedar and birch forests. The rapidly flowing river has cut deep potholes in and along the riverbed. Hike the trail to Hidden Falls or connect up with trails into the Superior National Forest and the Cross River Wayside. Visitors come to camp and picnic along the shore of Lake Superior. Winter brings cross-country skiers and snowmobilers to tackle the hilly terrain. Carlton Peak, a recent addition to the park, is popular with rock climbers and offers even more recreational opportunities to park visitors.

Campgrounds: Campgrounds have 51 drive-in sites; 18 with electricity, and 6 cart-in sites. In winter, the park has about 10 upper campground sites plowed and available for camping including 10 electric sites.

Electric Sites: The park has 18 electric sites, many of which are plowed during the winter months.

Special Notes for RV Campers: This is one of only two Minnesota State Park on the North Shore with electrical hookups.

Reservations: Highly recommended during the regular summer season.
