Bigger kids can play in the pretend house (with a real piano), grocery store, doctor's office, etc. while smaller kids can play with the water table, crawl in the low maze, etc. My daughter could spend an entire day here if it weren't for nap time! We came when she was about 14 months old and she loved it. I think kids as old as first or second grade would also enjoy this!

I stayed at the campground in an RV. It was very nice and well-maintained. The owners were friendly…read moreand live on-site. Importantly, all campsites were very level, with clearly demarked gravel parking areas (no muddy or uneven sites, and few obstacles for backing in). The sites are all clustered together on one grassy property, so each site is not necessarily secluded. However, save for the neighboring RVs, there certainly aren't many people around. The neighborhood appears to be largely rural, with a few summer homes mixed in. A nice place to take a walk or a jog. The campground itself is right in the bank of the lake, so it would be great for kayakers and canoers.

They got all the kayaks and life vests ready, did a little tutorial, gave us their recommended path and answered all our questions. We launched between the dams on the Mississippi River. There was no other boat traffic and it was kind of like a lake, virtually no current, just a leisurely kayak ride. You don't need any experience to have fun and successfully completely this kayak adventure. Highly recommend and we will be back! Thanks for the great day and family memories.

This is a fantastic arena, one of the finest in Minnesota. It has three (3) sheets of ice; the main…read moreevent is a spectacular classic arena, one newer rink in a rectangular addition, and a covered outdoor ice sheet. IRA is the Itasca Recreation Association, a civic group started many years ago to build an arena to support youth hockey. The locals have done a great job! You are greeted with boozhoo, a welcome greeting in Ojibwe and enter a large common area with access to both rinks, bench and booth seating, banners of local hockey heros and concessions. The main arena is a gem. Wooden beams, championship banners, seating on four sides with one end viewing from heated second floor lobby and large posters of local kids who played college, NHL and Olympic hockey. If this rink does not impress you, nothing much will. Rink two is a standard second rink in a rectangle building likely also used for non-hockey events, trade shows and conferences. It's heated for fans and has much smaller bleachers than rink one. Rink three is the covered outside rink. This is a real beauty. Stands, fresh air, wind and sunshine, access to indoor arena, lockers and other arena amenities. I wish MN had more of this covered yet open ice. For the hockey fan, this building is packed with trophies, some really old, and also a lot of great history. Not just the posters of NHLers from GR, but history of the arena, and those who built this monument to youth activities.

The park borders the shore of the Mississippi River with many picnic spots. Camping seems to be the bigger attraction with ample camping spots including a large group camp site.

There is no trail office only a self-service kiosk.
