DID YOU KNOW?
Itasca, established in 1891, is Minnesota's oldest state
park. Today, the park totals more than 32,000 acres and
includes more than 100 lakes. Stand under towering
pines at Preacher's Grove, visit the Itasca Indian Cemetery or
Wegmann's Cabin, landmarks of centuries gone by. Explore
Wilderness Drive past the 2,000-acre Wilderness Sanctuary, one
of Minnesota's seven Nat'l Natural Landmarks.
 At Itasca State
Park, the mighty Mississippi River begins its
2,552-mile journey to the Gulf of Mexico.
Established to preserve remnant stands of
virgin pine and to protect the basin around the
Mississippi's source, this park has become a famous
natural and cultural landmark in North America.
WILDLIFE. The diversity of vegetation
in the area supports many
wildlife species. Birding is excellent and visitors are encouraged to help
spot and record the bird life they see in the park. Some birds you can
expect to see include loons, grebes, cormorants, herons, ducks, owls,
hummingbirds, woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches, kinglets, vireos,
tanagers, finches, and warblers. Park trails are shared with deer,
chipmunks, and squirrels. Beaver, porcupine, black bears and wolves also
reside in the park.
