Very few people come to the beach in the morning. We decided to venture out at 9am the other day and only say a few other cars and only 2 people. We seriously had the beach wide open and to ourselves. We beach combed, bounced on the driftwood in the water, and ez up and down the shoreline. Stunning views! I also went with some girlfriends the other night for an evening bonfire and swim. This beach is a treasure and a must visit if you’re passing through or as my kids (even a teenager ????) said, “people could come spend a week up here! There is so much to do and you can relax on the beach every day!” They are currently restoring the beach area... they are paving the parking areas and creating boardwalk type walkways and it looks really nice! So glad they are doing some upkeep! There are no changing areas that I know of (maybe they are in the construction plans??) so make sure to wear your suit and use the bathroom prior to arriving! There are gas stations close by but we usually end up leaving because someone eventually needs to use a restroom. This beach is a true gem and lacks the crowds and hike at park point :) definitely a can’t miss place of you like beaches and swimming!

This museum honors World War II flying ace Richard Bong and all veterans.
Reviewed By MandySSS - Minneapolis, United States
The museum is small but filled with history of World War 2 and the history of who the museum was named after, Richard Bong. A true American hero who shot down more planes than any other American in the war where is count was 40 and went on to be a true hero of his generation. A lot of Nazi artifacts as well as other countries that are on display. If you are into history especially World War 2 you will love it!! A bit spendy but worth the extra few bucks spent.

Stopped with my husband on a hot summer day and the falls were beautiful. There were families with children swimming and people kayaking. Great park.

Built as the family home of mining and lumber baron Martin Pattison, the four story, 42 room mansion was completed in 1890 at the cost of $150,000; estimated at today's costs to be well over $3 million.The exterior and first floor of the mansion have been completely restored to the original splendor,with gilded murals on the ceilings and frieze, a grand entrance hall and open staircase, marble and tile fireplaces, and original leaded and stained glass windows.The second floor of the mansion includes access to master bedroom suite, furnished much as it was during the Pattisons’ time in the house. The third floor is dedicated to the Children’s Home era from 1920 to 1964, when the mansion served as a home to the less fortunate. It also includes the restoration exhibit, featuring documentation of the extensive work performed during the 1999 restoration of the mansion.

We loved our tour of the mansion. Our tour guide, Nolan, was able to answer all the questions my very inquisitive family had. He was upbeat, knowledgeable and fun. We learned a lot about the building, the town and the people who resided there. What a neat place and very enjoyable tour. Thanks!
