Discover Mccarthy Beach State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Famously known as the land of a thousand lakes, Minnesota’s McCarthy Beach State Park was established in 1945 when locals raised the money to purchase the land from property owner John A. McCarthy. Though the region was heavily logged in the decades prior, there are still a few groves of virgin wood trees that are hundreds of years old. Ancient hunting and tool artifacts found around the lake indicates people were living and hunting in the region for at least 10,000 years before European settlers ever laid eyes on it. Archaeologists believe they first arrived shortly after the last great glacier left the area, some 12,000 years ago.

Getting Outdoors

The Highway’s Magazine considers McCarthy Beach to be one of the top 17 beaches in North America. It’s easy to see why, between miles of sandy shorelines, shallow waters perfect for wading or swimming in, and gorgeous scenery, the park is an underrated gem. Hike 20 miles of trails that weave through dense, sun-dappled woods. The trails connect to the trails in the neighboring parks, extending the potential for adventure. In addition to largemouth bass, crappie, and walleye, lake sturgeons are plentiful. Fish from the shore, docks, or hit the waters in a shallow-bottom boat. The largest sturgeon catch on record was a five and a half feet long. Although smallmouth bass catches are infrequent, anglers are frequently surprised by the size, which can surpass 22 inches.

Camping at McCarthy Beach State Park

Far from the closest town, it’s almost a necessity to find a campground for overnight stays. Camping at McCarthy Beach State Park gets people closer to nature without sacrificing comfort. The campground has 86 sites for rental RVs, 21 of which has electric hookups. Restrooms are a short walk away from most sites. Those traveling through here with an RV take note. The road to the campground by Side Lake is exceedingly narrow with sharp curves.

Exploring the Area

Hibbing is known for one attraction in particular: its raceway. The semi-banked clay track is one of the most popular racecourses in Minnesota. In the heart of Iron Range, its annual tournaments regularly draw thousands of spectators eager to see racecars get dirty as they roar around the track. The track also hosts regular local races and practice sessions on weekends.
