Description

Added by Allison Herreid

Tettegouche Lake Overlook is a short hike from the parking area to a scenic overlook in Tettegouche State Park.

Getting to the parking lot:
From Highway 61, turn onto MN-1 and continue for just over 4 miles. Then turn left onto Lax Lake Road. The parking lot will be on your left after about 3 miles. You will see a sign with park maps/information.

The Hike:
From the parking lot, follow the gravel service road as it climbs uphill through the forest. After climbing for a bit, a narrow trail cuts across the road (the first trail that crosses the road). Follow this trail to the right as it winds through the woods. You will reach a sign where the trail turns off to reach the overlook. Be sure to pick up a map at the Visitor Center and check out other awesome hikes at Tettegouche State Park!

Tettegouche Lake Overlook Reviews

The hike was pretty short and the views were gorgeous.

This is one of those state parks where you can't believe it's a state park and not something more! It's so beautiful. Great hike with a nice view!
