This secluded north woods park is the perfect place to unwind. Quiet and peaceful, the trail system leads hikers through the virgin pine forest that includes a white pine more than 300 years old. Canoeists and anglers enjoy the gentle waters of the Mississippi River. A boat access, picnic area, canoe and drive-in campsites are available to visitors.

Visitor Alert!Spring Update Due to lingering snow the campgrounds will not open as scheduled the first weekend of May. Water in the campgrounds will not be turned on until warm overnight temperatures persist and the ground thaws. The picnic area does have a hand pump for water needs. Currently there is about one foot of snow to melt in the area. The Mississippi River channel is open, however the boat ramp and parking area still have snow. Call Scenic State Park at 218-743-3362 for updates on Schoolcraft as the fishing opener week progresses. |
