Scenic State Park is a Minnesota state park near Bigfork in Itasca County.
Ten buildings and structures in the park, constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the Rustic Style, are included within the National Register of Historic Places. This development started in 1933, and was the first CCC state park camp to begin operating within Minnesota. The buildings, of log construction, received considerable acclaim from the National Park Service. The landscape design was also prepared by the National Park Service and is one of the most thorough and extensive designs executed by their landscape architects.
