Jay Cooke State Park

Jay ⁠​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌⁠Cooke State Park sits along the St. Louis River gorge just east of Carlton, known for its swinging bridge over tilted black slate rapids and miles of hiking and ski trails. Park naturalists run free programs most weekends, from discovery tables and animal fur talks to moonlight hikes, snowshoe walks and holiday candlelight events.
