There are tons of things to do at Scenic State Park so you will want to plan a weekend there. Scenic State Park was never on my radar. I feel bad for saying so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The generic name makes visitors wonder, why is this park of all MN State Parks more deserving of the Scenic title? The park may not have elements of the north shore, but it does have one of the best forests I\u2019ve had the privilege of staying at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Day Eight of our Northern Loop Adventure<\/a> had us at Scenic State Park. This would be our new base camp for some of these north central parks. When trying to decide on a location, we were on the fence about Scenic or McCarthy Beach<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each having its own set of rave reviews, we settled on Scenic for the simple fact that it had an eclectic site open. It ended up being an excellent choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This summer has been a mixed bag for the weather. First is the drought. It led to crunchier conditions everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from the biting ants at Lake Bronson<\/a>, it also caused the water levels to decrease in the lakes. It also played a factor in the fires all over the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
