The new visitor center is now under construction. Learn more. The park will remain accessible for both camping and day use throughout construction. The old visitor office and rest area have been closed. Parking for the Lake Superior shoreline trails to Shovel Point and the Baptism River is limited to a small parking lot by the Baptism River and the Cart-in Campground parking lot. Restroom facilities will be very limited during construction.

Look for our temporary entrance and office off Highway 61 just southwest of the Baptism River Bridge. (See map above.)

Red Dot Trail Report 5/29/13

Red Dot Moose Walk Trail will be open as of 5/30/13. This year we have experienced washouts and trees down due to heavy winds. We have taken care of the worst but some washouts may take time to get fixed, SO RIDE WITH CARE. The wind fell trees have been removed, however new ones may have fallen since.

Attention Climbers!

Due to nesting Peregrine Falcons on Shovel Point and Palisade Head, the following climbs are closed until further notice:

On Shovel Point: All climbs off the last climbing platform are closed. These include: Soldier of God, I Laughed I Cried It Became Part of Me, The Great Yawn, Undercover, and Gold Plated.

Palisade Head is open.

Disruption of the nesting area can cause nest failure. Please respect signed area closures, and keep your distance from defensive peregrine adults. When disrupted, peregrines will typically give a loud, repetitive 'kak-kak-kak-kak-kak' call and swoop in on intruders. If you hear or see this behavior, retreat from the area. You might be disrupting the nest site. Stop by the park office if you have questions.
