Looking for a great park destination off the beaten path? Curlew Lake State Park is a jewel in the countryside. This 123-acre park, with its green lawns and shade trees offers beautiful lake vistas of pine-covered hills. Water sports activities abound in summer, and snow sports, like ice fishing are popular in winter. The park has two miles of hiking and biking trails and is a great home base for bicycle tour groups. Bald eagles, ospreys, and herons live in the neighboring trees and can be seen flying in to pluck a meal from the lake. A heron rookery with active nests is also visible from the park.

One of the foremost cultural and business ambassadors between the Northwest United States and Japan in the mid-1800s, MacDonald helped shaped the policies that opened relations between the two countries. The gravesite is on the roadside of a 25-mile scenic drive along the Kettle River near the Canadian border.
