<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catherine</strong> <strong>St</strong>ate <strong>Park</strong><br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catherine</strong> <strong>St</strong>ate <strong>Park</strong> has long<br />

been a destination for visitors seeking an area<br />

to relax, refresh and recreate. The 117-acre<br />

park has been in operation since it opened as<br />

a picnic and swimming area in 1953 on the<br />

shore of picturesque <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catherine</strong>. The<br />

park offers an array of recreation opportunities<br />

for campers and day-use visitors alike. These<br />

include a 61-site campground, a nature<br />

center, two sandy beaches, a large grassy<br />

field including a children’s playground and a<br />

snack-bar concession with rentals of rowboats,<br />

canoes, kayaks and pedal boats. A boat launch<br />

is available for those seeking a day of fishing<br />

or water skiing on the lake. A short hiking trail<br />

offers visitors a tour of the Big Trees of <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>St</strong>.<br />

<strong>Catherine</strong> and a breathtaking view of Birdseye<br />

Mountain.<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catherine</strong> provides excellent<br />

fishing opportunities for anglers of all skill<br />

levels. Panfish, largemouth and smallmouth<br />

bass, rainbow and brown trout, yellow perch and<br />

northern pike can all be found in the lake’s cool<br />

waters. Lucky visitors may catch a glimpse of a<br />

white-tailed deer or even an occasional moose.<br />

Regularly-scheduled interpretive programs are<br />

held at the nature center.<br />

Prior to state ownership, the area<br />

comprising <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catherine</strong> <strong>St</strong>ate <strong>Park</strong><br />

consisted of a summer camp for boys and<br />

farmland. Remnants of these past activities can<br />

still be found within the park.<br />

The campground includes 50 tent/<br />

trailer sites and 11 lean-to sites. There are two<br />

restrooms in the campground and one in the<br />

day-use area.<br />
