Check Out This Award-nominated Restroom In Ely’s State Park

What makes for a great bathroom?

Although you may have never explicitly asked yourself that question, I would be willing to bet that you could come up with a few amenities that might set one apart from the next.

Cleanliness is certainly on top of my list, followed by things like the number of stalls available, softness of toilet paper and a general feeling of safety also coming to the top of my head.

The folks at Cintas have launched their annual survey in search of 'America's Best Restroom,' and one Minnesota crapper has made the cut as a finalist.

Bear Head Lake State Park is located in Ely, Minnesota and is known for its restroom/shower building.

Cintas:

Nestled within one of Minnesota’s most beloved parks, the restroom and shower building at Bear Head Lake State Park provides more than just function—it offers thoughtful design in a stunning setting. With a fully accessible layout that meets all ADA guidelines, this facility ensures comfort for all visitors.

 

The exterior dishwashing sinks are a camper-friendly touch, providing a convenient space to clean up without trekking back to a waterless site. Surrounded by the serene beauty that earned Bear Head Lake the title of America’s Favorite State Park in 2010, this restroom is proof that practicality and natural beauty can go hand in hand.

Bear Head Lake State Park features multiple lakes, campsites and camper cabins amidst 23 miles of lakeshore.
