Temperance River
The park is located near several points of interest, such as the Superior Hiking Trail, Split Rock Lighthouse, and Tettegouche State Park. The nearby town of Schroeder offers restaurants, shops, and other amenities.
The campground at Temperance River State Park offers 51 campsites, including some with electric hookups. The campground amenities include showers, flush toilets, and a dump station. Reservations are recommended, but some first-come-first-serve sites are available.
An interesting fact about the area is that the Temperance River was named by early settlers who were inspired by the river's clear, pure water.

However, the fall season offers breathtaking foliage, and the winter season provides opportunities for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
