Things to Do
You are right across the bay from one of Minnesota's most famous beaches! The sugar sand beach at McCarthy Beach State Park has been a popular destination for over 70 years. A long expanse of shallow water makes it perfect for kids, and parents can choose to sit in the sun or shade while watching them.
While the beach may be famous, the trail system is the hidden gem of McCarthy Beach State Park. Eighteen miles of trails wind through heavily wooded hills and around pothole lakes. Stands of pure birch are interspersed with mixed forest and stands of red and white pines. The hilly trails are enjoyed by hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, snowshoe enthusiasts, and snowmobilers.
State Park Day Pass or Seasonal Pass Required. (Or boat over from My North Bay Getaway--No Pass Required!)
