Itasca State Park
See where one of America's most famous rivers begins at this Minnesota state park.
Explore a natural national landmark and Minnesota's oldest state park. Lake Itasca harbors the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Revel in the unspoiled wilderness that contains pine trees more than 200 years old.
Begin your tour at a gently flowing stream strewn with small boulders. A marker that states the Mississippi River starts to flow here. The bubbling brook is a far cry from the huge river delta in the Gulf of Mexico.
Native Americans lived here as long as 8,000 years ago. View the Bison Kill Site, where native peoples hunted a now-extinct species of bison. Burial mounds at Itasca Indian Cemetery also showcase the long history of the lake.
Follow 50 miles of trails through the park. The boardwalk is ideal for viewing orchids near the lake. Winter time means cross country skiing and snowmobiling. Watch
