About Cascade River State Park
Rocky terrain marks the point where the Cascade River drops down to join Lake Superior, giving the park its rugged character. The park protects this stretch of shoreline and river descent, along with the surrounding land where various birds and mammals live. The mix of moving water and exposed rock defines the landscape here more than open fields or lakeshore beaches would.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
