Cascade River State Park

Lime planned a trip for the group to go to Cascade River State Park. We went yearly for a while, but these pictures are from May 2018. I think this is the first year we went up and it was just the 3 of us. We did another trip later with Zach and Alex. She booked BP1. It is right on Lake Superior. Its also right off of 61 so its really easy to bring in firewood and haul heavy stuff like chairs. Downside is you hear cars and trucks drive by at night.

Here is a view of the lake from the campsite.

People previous to us hammered bottle caps into the shelter. Its pretty nice having that shelter. One year it was super rainy, so we put up a tarp off the roof and moved the picnic table underneath it. We played cards and hung out where it was somewhat more dry

This is the latrine. We lucked out and there was fresh TP. We returned the favor by stocking it up before we left.

There was the remants of a deer. Some wolf had a tasty meal.

These are pictures of the Cascade falls.

Lookout Mountain is more of a big hill, but it sounds cool at any rate. There is a very nice overlook at the top. I went up there with a walkie-talkie and was able to call back to BP1.

The Superior Hiking Trail goes through Cascade River State Park. I thought this trail marker looked pretty cool.

Here is a neat tree fungus. There are lots of cool mushrooms up along the north shore.

Cascade River State Park is really close to Grand Marais. Whenever we camp up there we always take a day to go into the town. There is a neat area by the bay to explore a little bit.
