Moose Lake

Not a bad little state park. Great campground. Plenty of picnic spots and ample room for bigger crowds. Lake perfect for fishing bass and crappie. Great Lake to kayak or even canoe. There is a sandy beach you can swim at .

We have been in Minnesota for over five weeks, and we have visited 13 of the 64 state parks so far. All of them have been jewells, and Moose Lake State Park is no exception. The visitor center has the best geology exhibit that I've ever visited (and I've been to a lot). The timeline exhibit and the specimens of rocks and minerals on display are dazzling. This truly is worth the stop to see this. The park is beautiful. We did a 2 mile hike around Wildlife Pond. Don't pass up seeing this park. Even if you only have time to visit the visitor center. The staff on hand was friendly and helpful with our questions.

Hiking, biking, camping, learning about agates, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming are all great activities you can do at Moose Lake State Park. This is a great place for families or anyone who wants to enjoy natural surroundings, peace and beauty in a safe and serene state park. Staff and Park hosts were very helpful and friendly. Every space was clean and well-maintained. There were very few people camping when we arrive on a Wednesday. This is a great campground to avoid crowds. We would definitely stay here again. It is not far to get to Jay Cooke and Banning State Parks as well. We especially enjoyed access to the Willard Munger Trail. It is so convenient to have quick access to Moose Lake for supplies or food.

Moose Lake State Park is a solid state park with well maintained trails, a great beach and picnic area, great campsites, excellent fishing and boating on a fairly large lake, and great nature all around you. As far as Minnesota state parks go, it's not one of the more exciting or unique parks that the state has to offer. The trails are easy hiking with nicely maintained and wide open paths, but I prefer the trails in parks that are a little bit less accessible and have some difficulty and terrain changes. This is a great park if you have little kids and a stroller. The fish is pretty top notch here too.

Winter hiking was great! Only a few people there at the time. Have a camping spot reserved in June, hope it's a quiet park then too 😊

Nice state park. a little smaller than some of the others in the area. Went here for a quick 2 hour hike before going to Banning for a more substantial hike on the way home from Duluth.

Small state park that is very easy to access off interstate 35. There's only a few miles of hiking trails and a small drive-in campground (three loops). Our site, number 5, was on an incline which was extremely annoying for pitching a tent but ended up saving us from floating away during the downpour of rain. The toilets aren't very easy to access, kind of a walk, but were very clean (no hand sanitizer in the primitive toilets). The campsite host was extremely friendly and kind. We rented a canoe/paddles/life preservers and enjoyed paddling around Echo Lake all weekend. It's a very popular lake for fishing and tubing. Some of the folks in motorized boats weren't respectful and sped through creating massive wakes for the kayaks and canoes. We spent a lot of time at the beach and experienced several large family groups that were fishing and swimming with highly inappropriate behaviors. I tend to always rate state parks very high, but the negatives overshadowed the positive at this park. The park rangers were awesome - huge shout-out to the lady rangers that helped with firewood and the canoe!!

Just stopped for a bathroom break and to see the Agate Museum. Both were very clean and well maintained. Staff was nice and facility was gorgeous for such a small little park.
