Do you think Minnesota’s 1st State Park could be a National Park?! 🌲 Itasca State Park in📍Park Rapids is truly iconic 🥾 It first became a park in 1891 but people have been in the area for thousands of years before that. Below are some of the highlights! 💧Most famously, it’s the home of the Mississippi River headwaters 🌲Some of the tallest trees in Minnesota are here and there’s a beautiful 7 mile one-way drive to see them 🛥️ There are daily boat tours in the summer to learn about the history and see the lake 🛶 You can rent a pontoon, peddleboat, canoe, SUP or bikes from @itascasports 🌳 Climb the observation tour if you’re not afraid of heights to see a fantastic view 🥾 Hike some of the 48 miles of trails 🍽️ Dine in the historic lodge from 1905 with beautiful views of the lake Follow @planetwithsara for more Minnesota adventures! #minnesota #itascastatepark #mnstateparks #upnorthlife #mississippiriver #minnesotablogger #midwestmoment #midwestblogger
