Bewabic State Park is situated on Fortune Lake, which is part of the Fortune Lakes Chain. The park is home to both modern and rustic campsites, a day-use area, a tennis court, hiking trails, a boat launch and more. The park is rich with Civilian Conservation Corps history, which is evident by several CCC structures still in use. The park is site #9 along the Iron County Heritage Trail system.
The park is one of just a few state parks that allow the operation of an ORV between the campground and nearby ORV trails. Please note: ORV use is for exiting and entering the park only, not for traveling within the park. The park connects to Twin Lakes and Baraga state parks and Bond Falls Scenic Site via several motorized routes.
