Scenic views

First time ever at Jay Cooke State Park. Great campground with lots of hiking trails to get beautiful views of the St Louis River. There were brand new bathrooms and showers which was a nice surprise. We had the only pull thru site #46e and was just across front the new bathroom facilities. It did have a lot of foot and car traffic but the nice wooded sites still gave us privacy. Crossing the swinging bridge gives you the wonderful views up and down the river and grants access to some nice hiking trails. The soil at Jay Cooke is clay, so wet trails are very slippery as well as the rocky terrain is slick when wet too. Be sure to see the big stone which is located in one of the campsite loops. Saw my first ever - pink lady slipper flower. My Verizon cell service was pretty much non existent at the campsite. There was WiFi at the front office in the event that you need your phone. Loved Jay Cooke and hope to get back there again.
