Visit Park Rapids

Visit Park Rapids Catch a memory! Home to the only place in the world to tiptoe across the Headwaters of the Mississippi River. How do you catch a memory?

We’re home to the Headwaters of the Mississippi at Itasca State Park. Family-friendly resorts are sprinkled throughout the area, welcoming vacationers for generations. But the pleasures remain the same; a day on the water, catching a cool breeze, seeing loons duck and dive, and watching the clouds roll by, occasionally snagging a walleye, northern or panfish for some fine eating later. Since our l

akes and woods never close, there are plenty of year-round activities; from silent sports such as hiking, biking, and cross country skiing to motor sports enjoying water recreation, ATVs, and snowmobiles. Savor the flavors of Dorset, the “Restaurant Capital of the World,” or stroll through the shops on Main in scenic Downtown Park Rapids. Immerse yourself in the arts and history. Take pleasure in hundreds of pristine lakes, miles of trails, and unique shopping in the Park Rapids Lakes Area.

Hey, it’s corn season! We headed over to our local neighbors, shucked fresh sweet corn, and turned it into this fabulous pizza pie.

Loaded with all the goodness you could ask for, this pizza is fresh, flavorful, and packed with that sweet corn goodness we wait all year for. 🌽🍕

This week we're featuring Crow Wing Crest Lodge — a delightfully charming, eco-friendly Northwoods sanctuary nestled on the shores of 11th Crow Wing Lake, located right between Park Rapids, Walker, and Itasca State Park!

For generations, families have come to Crow Wing Crest to "relax, dangit, and have some fun"! Whether you're looking for a classic family getaway or a refreshing wellness retreat, this 33-acre organic resort seamlessly blends traditional lake fun with holistic relaxation. Stay in one of their 19 guaranteed-clean, chemical-free cabins (ranging from traditionally rustic to modern luxury) or settle in at one of their cozy campsites.

Spend your summer days basking on the big 200-foot sandy beach, jumping off the swim raft, or paddling the crystal-clear waters with complimentary kayaks, canoes, paddleboats, and Stand-Up Paddleboards. Kids and families will love the endless lineup of activities—from weekly BINGO, potluck luaus, and crafts to Norway volleyball, sandcastle contests, and a play fort with a mini-carousel!
Looking to recharge? Unwind in the lakeside sauna or pamper yourself with on-site spa services like reflexology, aromatherapy, ionic detox foot baths, and massage therapy. Off the water, explore on-site nature trails, hit the nearby Heartland Bike Trail or Paul Bunyan ATV trails, or gather in the historic 1898 log lodge for games, arcade fun, and cozy fireside chats.

Highlight: Known as one of the top walleye lakes in the state for trophy-sized fish, 11th Crow Wing Lake offers incredible fishing alongside unique holistic spa retreats!
