A good all around family fun place to explore and learn about the history of the Mississippi! This is the 2nd year in a row visiting this campground, plenty to do for the first time and good enough to do twice and still see something new. The kids loved playing at the headwaters, climbing the fire tower and seeing the early settlers sites. The bike trails are under construction this year however still lots of activities to do in the park.

Its amazing that you can actually walk over Mississippi river !!! Lifetime experience for me and my family. Its just a very fun plays to be and experience it first hand. Origin of a mighty river that flows for thousands of miles.We went to side paths and dis some minor hiking, it was fun. Loved the whole experience. I'd visit this place again. Do take some bug/ mosquito repellent with you.

It was thrilling to see the actual source of a mighty river. Made the mandatory crossing on foot...yes, now I can proudly say that I crossed the Mississippi on foot...Beautiful lake, well maintained walks and woods. The sacred spots had a sense of sanctity that was very moving.

Wonderful facilities and beautiful location. This would be a great place to spend more time. Our visit was brief but we did take advantage of the bike rentals and terrific riding path. Early September weather was terrific and not crowded.

Lake Itasca State Park is incredible. I'm not even an "outdoorsy" person and I loved it. It is a gorgeous, large park with plenty of space to explore. Seeing the headwaters of the Mississippi is a thrill, and watching people slip and slide across it is comical. While there, the water was unusually high and swift so I was unable to fully walk across it, but I would do it again another visit. We did the boat tour of the lake, walked the trails, ate delicious meals in the Douglas Lodge restaurant and slept in a Douglas cabin that was very clean and peaceful. I will definitely return to this park again. Come prepared with bug spray for ticks and mosquitoes.

We really like to go here; we even took our friends from Denmark to see this. This is a very beautiful lake. At times during active tourist season it is very busy, but early or late season visitors will find it more peaceful.

Pristine lake where you can watch the Loons and Eagles. There is a tour boat that conducts great tours of the lake and the guides are great about pointing out wild life and other interesting things.

Really nice and not crowded. You can take a tour across it with the boat, but we opted for a walk instead. I hear the tour is quite good, and I wish he had done it.The place is really beautiful and reenergizing.

The area is so beautiful. The visitor's center was closed, but thankfully, there was abundant covered outdoor plaques for reading any and all Mississippi River information, right where it all starts. The information told so much about The River, it's abundance, wildlife, culture. The park is open until pretty late. We took the short walk on a nice level, wide trail under tall foliage to the highlight...the start of the Mississippi River. Here it's a creek, you may walk across it, or on a log, or on the rocks. It may be one of the most photographed spots. There were many people, but just share the space and know it may be difficult to get pictures without extra people. Watch the slippery rocks. My husband fell in. He's fine and I retrieved my keys. Supposedly, it's good luck to fall in. Hmm. We would love to return and spend more time in the large, plentiful Itasca State Park.

Good place to visit. I camped at the Itasca State Park. The headwaters of the Mississippi is here. A person can swim, boat (probably small boats), and fish here.
