Come to Tettegouche for a great sense of the North Shore: the spectacular overlooks at Shovel Point; rocky, steep cliffs and inland bluffs; the cascading 60 ft. High Falls of the Baptism River; and the historic Tettegouche Camp where visitors can stay the night.
This is a hiker's paradise with miles of trails that overlook the Sawtooth Mountains and wind down to inland lakes accessible only by foot.
The Palisade Valley Unit features broad scenic vistas coupled with an expanse of multi-use, four-season trails. Two more trout lakes complement the fishing opportunities within the rest of the park.
The park is also known for rock climbing opportunities and quality birdwatching in the spring, summer, and especially the fall.

Do you have photos of Tettegouche’s Sea Arch? We are currently looking for past photos of Tettegouche’s sea arch to create a photo chronology of the changes the arch has undergone in through history.

An iconic image of Lake Superior's north shore, Tettegouche's sea arch along the trail to Shovel Point has collapsed. Sometime in the week leading up to August 22, the archway was consumed by the same natural forces that created it. Weathering and erosion have left behind a new landmark, a sea stack, sure to be photographed by many for years to come.
