Visit

Mesaba Park offers 240 acres of woodlands surrounding the spring-fed waters of Lake North Star. Twelve campsites, five with electrical hook-ups, are set among beautiful woods. Four rustic cabins and a yurt provide sleeping facilities. One restroom and shower building serves the park. A wood-heated sauna is available for use by members.

The Park’s historic pavilion was constructed by members in the 1930’s. The upper level has a dance hall with hardwood maple floor and a performance stage ideal for speakers, musicians, and presentations. The dance hall can seat 200 people. The pavilion’s lower level consists of a large kitchen and dining hall capable of seating 100.

We are located on the Mesabi Iron Range, seven miles from Hibbing, where you will find restaurants, shopping, movie theaters, a public library, and other attractions. There are several popular destinations within driving distance, including the Minnesota Discovery Center, the Tower-Soudan Underground Mine, and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
