Gooseberry Falls is the gateway to the North Shore. It is known for its spectacular waterfalls, river gorge, Lake Superior shoreline, Civilian Conservation Corps log and stone structures, and Northwoods wildlife. Visitors can listen to the thunderous roar of the Upper, Middle and Lower Falls of the Gooseberry River, as it plummets through a rocky gorge. Watch for waves, ships, or the moon rise on Lake Superior from an ancient lava flow known as the Picnic Flow. Guests can hike or ski to see the Fifth Falls through a forest of evergreen, aspen, and birch. Enjoy camping in modern campsites, picnicking, and trout fishing from the Lake Superior shoreline or the Gooseberry River. For many motorists Gooseberry Falls State Park is a wayside rest with spectacular scenery. Also on the site is the Gateway Plaza for outdoor interpretive signs on area resources and history.
