Gooseberry Falls State Park on Lake Superior’s North Shore preserves the mouth of the Gooseberry River and its well-known Upper, Middle, and Lower Falls. Authorized for preservation in 1933 and established as a state park in 1937, it contains a notable historic landscape built from 1934 to 1941 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, whose rustic stone structures used multicolored basalt under National Park Service design oversight and Italian stonemason supervision. The park is also significant for the visible lava flows carved by the river, which reveal the north shore’s volcanic geology and relate to the formation of Lake Superior agates. It remains a scenic and recreational destination with trails, campsites, programs, and abundant wildlife.
