ScoutRest stop
I'm not sure you can spend the night here. It's a rest stop with no overnight signs, idk if they mean for a certain part of the lot though and probably no one would hassle you
GuideBest place to stop for bathroom break!
Best place to stop for pitstop. Nice clean bathrooms and area for stretching legs and to check rigs for anything. Just down the road there is an amazing place called Huckleberry In and has amazing giant maple bars!! You can often see people skiing and snowboarding down the little bunny hill near bathrooms. Gas station near too! Also coffee shack to get your caffeine fix!!
