Visiting the Headwaters of the Mississippi is a fun time for the entire family and a great photo opp. We had 13 family members hold hands across across the mightiest river in America! The kids had fun swimming in the lake while the adults learned about how the river was formed and it's history.

We biked along the paved bike trail from Douglas Lodge to get here, along Lake Itasca. Nice and friendly cafe nearby was perfect, not overly-touristy. Kids loved walking over rocks spanning the river's origin.

The first few steps are a bit slippery... but then it's just a blast. The kids had a great time playing in the MISSISSIPPI, and the adults were having fun re-enacting their past. It's a great place to make memories!

I decided to take off my shoes to cross the headwaters. I think that was the right decision. The rocks were slippery, but the gravel was sharp. It was a long-term good experience. I have pictures to prove it

Since we live in St. Louis (where the Mississipi is huge), seeing the start of the Mississippi was a must while we were in Minnesota. The park did an excellent job making it an educational experience with all of the information presented as well. I would suggest bringing a towel in case your kids slide off the rocks and get their shorts all wet like one of mine did.

First visiting for me and it really makes my day. I am so happy that I have a nice opportunity to visit here before I die. The state park here is very big and it is really beautiful. If you love nature, let come here... You will love it like I do. The water of the Mississippi River is quite clear. Only one problem here is mosquito, so don't forget to take mosquito repellent before taking an adventure here. Moreover, there are many cute chipmunks. This beautiful Mississippi Headwater really impresses me. It is also unforgettable experience for me.

Located inside the Itasca Lake State Park (which we reviewed separately). A neat woo-hoo thing to do!!!

Was in the area so we decided to walk across The Mississippi. This area is well developed with handicap accessibility. The welcome center gives a history of the area and information on the river, ecology, wildlife, etc., etc..It's a short walk to the headwater whee the are rocks to walk across the river. Beautiful area.

My family loves to visit Itasca State Park and the Mississippi Headwaters. It is so fun to walk across the headwaters and know how far that water will travel! This is a great attraction for kids and individuals of all ages. So beautiful and peaceful! Wonderfully maintained park and spaces.

Easy walk to the headwaters from the visitors center. We heeded warnings for Mosquito spray - but bugs weren't bad at all, even though no wind. Flat path and no problem walking even with sore knees. Visitor center at east entrance great for kids and interesting for adults. Daily park fee is $5. Bike trails available, camping etc - but check with park services or their website as some trails were under construction when we were there. Those that were open were amazing (paved and wide).
