| Comments |
This is Minnesota’s newest state park, established in June, 2010. Only two small areas are open to the public for day use. The Alaska Shaft trail is a short spur leading from Soudan Underground Mine State Park to an overlook. A picnic area in Armstrong Bay in the northwest corner of the park is accessible only by boat. |
