Baptism River High Falls is the tallest waterfall that’s entirely within the State’s borders, and when frozen solid, it’s a popular destination for ice climbers.

Minnesota winters tend to be a little longer than those in most other states. That means outdoor enthusiasts like us must embrace colder weather if they don’t want to be stuck inside for a good chunk of the year. Fortunately, the Land of 10,000 (occasionally frozen) Lakes offers outdoor lovers plenty to do during all 12 months – and most of our state parks are on board for around-the-calendar recreation, as well. One of the state’s premier recreational units, Tettegouche State Park is even open for winter camping in Minnesota, making it the perfect destination for year-round adventures.

Tettegouche is one of the most popular destination parks in Minnesota, attracting folks from across the Midwest.

…

Tettegouche’s campgrounds tend to be full throughout the summer and on weekends during the shoulder seasons.

Ice bergs and snow on the shore of Lake Superior, Shovel point in the distance. — In fact, the park is arguably at its most dramatic and beautiful during the winter months.

Tent camping under the northern lights — The Baptism River Campground is even open during the winter, and unlike many parks, Tettegouche offers water, electric, firewood, and even showers during the winter.

Hike, cross-country ski, or snowshoe on the park’s many trails, including the Superior Hiking Trail, which traverses Tettegouche.

You can rent equipment, get advice on winter activities – including winter camping seminars – and take a minute to warm up at the park’s lodge-like visitor center.

No matter what time of year you visit, you’ll find plenty of things to do at Tettegouche State Park. Just be sure to pack all your winter essentials before you head out – or pick up the gear you’ll need beforehand.
