Celebrate the start of America’s greatest river with this Itasca State Park Poster. Lake Itasca’s shoreline, tall red and white pines, and the stone and log markers at the Mississippi Headwaters are distilled into a clean, design forward composition that suits modern homes, cabins, rentals, and offices. A refined tribute to Minnesota’s oldest state park and the place where visitors wade across the newborn Mississippi.
