Cloquet Valley State Forest

The Cloquet Valley State Forest encompasses 327,098 acres (1,323.7 km²); 48,384 acres (195.8 km²) of which (or 15%) are Minnesota Department of Natural Resources forestry administered lands.

Located in southeast St. Louis County, the Cloquet Valley State Forest is located about 20 miles (32 km) north of Duluth and 25 miles (40 km) southeast of Virginia, in Minnesota's Arrowhead region. It spreads out over east-central St. Louis County, generally in areas just north of the city of Duluth, but extending into the valleys of the Ush-kab-wan River, Whiteface River, and Cloquet River, for which it is named. The city of Cloquet is located in adjacent Carlton County.

Recreational activities offered at the Indian Lake campground within the forest include camping, fishing, and a canoe route on the Cloquet River.

The Superior National Forest is located immediately north of the Cloquet Valley State Forest. St. Louis County Road 4 and County 44 are two of the main routes in the area.
