Caribou Falls State Wayside


April 29, 2024

Caribou Falls State Wayside is not located in Illinois, but rather in Minnesota. The wayside is a rest area along the North Shore Scenic Drive on Minnesota's Highway 61. The area is known for its beautiful waterfalls and hiking trails. One of the main attractions is the Caribou Falls which plunges 35 feet into a gorge. Other points of interest include the Devil Track River, hiking trails, and scenic views of Lake Superior. The best time to visit is during the summer months when the weather is mild, and the waterfalls are at their fullest. Additionally, the fall foliage is also a popular time to visit.
