Jay Cooke State Park

Visitor Alert!

Park Updates:

For our safety and yours, please respect closures and stay clear of construction activity!

• The Highway 210 bridge has reopened; the road currently ends at the park office.
• The swinging bridge still needs extensive repairs, and is anticipated to reopen in the early fall of 2013.
• The Oldenburg Point area and the Jay Cooke Road area of the park is closed due to the construction work going on between the Forbay Canal, the Highway 210 bridge, and the Minnesota Power construction. Please refrain from using this area.
• Access to the trail system on the south side of the park is limited, due to the bridge's closure. Most other trails are open.
