Lake Bemidji State Park

Lake Bemidji is frequented by visitors all throughout the year because it offers various activities such as camping, birdwatching, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, swimming, fishing, boating, and other naturalist-led pursuits. The beauty of the tamarack bog carpeted with pitcher plants, insect-eating sundews, lady’s slippers, dragon’s mouth, and pitcher plants is something to see. 

Early summer and late spring are the perfect time to go if you want to see the flowers bloom in the bog. Located in the region of Minnesota that is full of pine-moraine, this pet-friendly state park contains excellent examples of conifer bog that includes the state’s most unusual plants and animals. 

If you like to observe nature, you should put Lake Bemidji on your itinerary. The park is the northern trailhead of the Paul Bunyan State Trail, a state trail frequented by both snowmobilers and bikers. The sunset strolls along the water, whether with your loved one or with your beloved pooch, is something that you should experience. 

How often can you see the sunset while surrounded by fall colors and spring flowers, as well as the mysterious world of a spruce-tamarack bog? Some of the features in the state park are a volleyball court, sandy beach, canoe, kayak or boat rental, biking trails, children’s playground, and naturalist programs happening all year round. 

There is a 95-site campground four of which are wheelchair accessible and a fill/dump station with modern showers and restrooms for people to use during the summer season. There are four camper cabins tucked in the woods with electricity all throughout the year. 

If you want to stay connected to the world, even though we advise against it, you will be delighted to know that the park has free Wifi in the Visitors Center and the campgrounds. Dogs are gladly received in the park, but they must be on a leash not longer than six feet. However, only service animals can be in lodgings, cabins, beach areas, and park buildings.
