Jay Cooke State Park

Jay Cooke State Park offers a little bit for everyone. Anyone who loves trails will love this park as the park trails connect with the Willard Munger State Trail. These trails are very popular as they are multi-use trails, and if you decide to leave the state park to go on the Willard Munger Trail you will find yourself on a 63-mile long trail.  At Jay Cooke State Park you can find the popular swinging suspension bridge that crosses the fast waters of St. Louis River.
