"Lake Bemidji State Park... 1,725 acres situated at the north end of the lake... was established in 1923 to conserve a remnant of uncut pine forest and provide public access to Lake Bemidji. ... the site was in use for thousands of years... arrow and spear points were discovered during... archeology survey... Some of these artifacts dates back 7,000 years...
A unique feature is the 1,200-foot interpretive Bog Walk featuring several varieties of orchids... in 2007, Beltrami County abandoned a section of Lavinia Road, which the park took over and restored for wetland and forest. Volunteers planted 150 orchid clumps on the abandoned road site. The orchids were rescued from a road constriction site near Baudette. Lake Bemidji State Park is... a habitat for... rare bog adder's mouth orchid, Malaxis paludosa."
