Lake Vermilion State Park is a state park under development in the U.S. State of Minnesota in central North America. The park began with the purchase of about 3,000 acres from U.S. Steel in 2010. It is on the southeast shore of Lake Vermilion, adjoining and to the east of Soudan Underground Mine State Park.
It is home to northern songbirds, loons, hawks, and various owls. White-tailed deer, black bears, timber wolves, fishers and many smaller animals also inhabit this park.
