Cliffs at Tettegouce State Park

Cliffs at Tettegouce State Park

Many Minnesota state parks hold interesting and beautiful geologic features. This cliff at Tettegouche was eroded by water. The reddish color in the rocks comes from small amounts of iron.

Mister C says:

A friend and I camped out along Lake Superior at Silver Bay. In the morning we took a sea kayak and went past shovel point and back in the same day. The wind was calm. We scooted through several of these bridges. We floated pass Shovel Point, watched climbers and sat in awe looking up the cliff and deep down in the water. The water was clear and the bottom was far below. The feeling of vertigo was sometimes overwhelming.

Get a sea kayak and experience this for yourself.

< a href="http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/kayaking/lswt/index.html>The Lake Superior Water Trail has important information.
