Playground

If you’re staying at one of the cabins nearby, this little spot is genuinely handy to know about. There’s a solid stretch of open grass where the little ones can just run themselves tired, which honestly does the job better than half the fancy equipment you’ll find elsewhere. The walking path connects you to the broader trail network around Lake Itasca, so it’s easy to make a whole morning of it. It’s quiet out here — no crowds, no noise — which is either a selling point or a dealbreaker depending on your kid. Best suited for the 2-8 crowd who just need room to move.
