Big Bog State Park

Big Bog State Park is a northern Minnesota State Park and recreation area that protects the largest remaining peat bog in the country.

Big Bog State Park

The Big Bog recreation area is located on the west bank of the Tamarack River and near the eastern shore of UpperRed Lake.

The park is divided into two segments: the southern portion of the park is where you will find the campground; the northern part is north on Hwy. 72 and where you will want to explore Big Bog's attractions and recreation.

The mile long boardwalk into the bog will introduce you to this unique part of Minnesota.

Some of Big Bog State Park's attractions include:
  • Located on Highway 72, just north of the town of Waskish
  • Mile-long boardwalk allows park visitors to get a first-hand look at the unusual plant and animal life in this unique resource.
  • Has 500 square miles of peat bog
  • Historic source of medicinal plants for Ojibwe Indian tribes
  • Small sandy beach on Upper Red Lake.
  • Exceptional fishing for walleye in Upper Red Lake
  • Wildlife and birding area...you could see a moose in this park.
  • Campsites for both summer and winter
  • Year round camper cabins
  • Check out attractions in nearby Baudette, Minnesota

Camping:

The campground can be accessed by road and also by boat from the river. Mooring docks are available.



Detailed information about this, and other, Minnesota state park campgrounds can be found in Minnesota State Parks: A Camper's Guide.
