About Schoolcraft State Park

Named for Henry Schoolcraft, who worked with Anishinaabe guide Ozawindib to chart the headwaters of the Mississippi River, this park sits along the banks of that same river. The land lies near Grand Rapids and Deer River, tracing a stretch of the waterway tied to that expedition.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
