Paddling Adventures at Maplewood State Park

In June we rented a cart-in, rustic cabin on Beers Lake at Maplewood State Park in northern MN. It was beautiful weather for paddling, fishing, hiking, passing a soccer and volley ball, and hanging out by the fire.

The short gravel path was flat, making it an easy quarter mile one way trek

A path just wide enough for our canoe and kayaks through the tall grasses lead us to a skinny wooden dock on Beers lake

On flat water, we crossed open water to explore the perimeter of an island
