Small Park
There is no park office. This small park is administered by the staff of the much larger Zippel Bay State Park, 50 miles to the northwest. Maps are available at that park.
Seeking Solitude
Anyone coming here looking for solitude has come to the right place. Even on summer weekends a visitor is likely to have the park to theirself during the day. At night, however, there may be campers diverted to here from the nearby Zippel Bay State Park when that campground is full.

Franz Jevne State Park |
About
Sep 16, 2014 BIRCHDALE, MN - Lakes Country Living used this footage to close Episode 15 of Season 4. We thought you might enjoy it with just the natural sounds from the location, without a music track. Filmed around Labor Day, the scenery depicts a little State Park on the Rainy River. Yes, that is Canada just across from us. |
