点评:Itasca State Park Minnesota
This park is a gem in Minnesota State Parks! Just beautiful. Although we only had 1 day we managed to pack a lot into it.
My advise is to start your day as early as possible. We went to the Mississippi Headwaters at around 8:15 am & had the place to ourselves. The gift shop isn't open yet, but when we went back later for ice cream the place was hopping! The Wilderness Drive is a must see as well. There's some short hikes & a lot of wild beauty. They have a fire tower you can climb.
Biking is very popular & there's a dedicated bike path on the Wilderness Drive which is about 10 miles. There's a lodge & restaurant.
Two visitor centers.
There's some short hiking trails suitable for families.
There are 2 campgrounds - Pine Ridge & Bear Paw. Electric sites only. I think it was $35 a night. There is a dump.
We were in Bear Paw site 37E.
Frankly, I liked Bear Paw campground better, even though it's smaller. By the lake, but no sites are ON the lake. Lakeview sites are 63, 67, 68, 69, & 70.
There's good access to the bike trail. There's a path down to the lake, so if you have a kayak you can drag it down
We were across from the bath house. It's very nice & clean! Showers are push button. Not too hot.
Pine Ridge we did a short drive thru. The campground registration office is there. We were told we didn't have to register if we we had an on line registration. No tags.
Pine Ridge had several loops, but we just went down the Spruce Loop. The sites looked flat & shaded. I didn't note any particular site.
We really enjoyed our stay & wished we could have added a couple more nights!

这座公园是明尼苏达州立公园中的瑰宝!景色优美。虽然我们只有一天时间,但还是安排了很多活动。
我的建议是尽早开始你的一天。我们早上8:15左右去了密西西比河源头,那里人山人海。礼品店还没开门,但我们后来回去吃冰淇淋时,那里已经人头攒动了!荒野之路也是必游之地。那里有一些短途徒步路线和许多野生美景。他们还有一座瞭望塔可以攀爬。
骑自行车非常受欢迎,荒野之路上有一条约10英里长的专用自行车道。那里有一家旅馆和一家餐厅。
有两个游客中心。
还有一些适合家庭的短途徒步路线。
有两个露营地——松岭和熊掌。只有供电点。我记得每晚35美元。那里有一个垃圾场。
我们住在熊掌营地37E。
说实话,我更喜欢熊掌营地,虽然它更小。营地就在湖边,但没有一个营地在湖面上。湖景营地是63、67、68、69和70号。
这里很容易去自行车道。有一条小路可以下到湖边,如果你有皮划艇,可以把它拖下去。
我们住在浴室对面。那里非常漂亮干净!淋浴是按钮式的。水不太热。
我们在松岭(Pine Ridge)开了一小段车。营地登记处就在那里。我们被告知,如果我们在线注册,就不需要登记了。没有标签。
松岭有几个环线,但我们只沿着云杉环线(Spruce Loop)走。营地看起来地势平坦,而且有树荫。我没有特别留意哪个营地。
我们真的很享受这次住宿,真希望可以多住几晚!
