Details: This place has its own website, but you will find info about collecting at the Travel Channel's Treasure Wiki Minnesota Page. The link for the travel channel's page is broken. Much of the info comes from Bill Reynolds, a columnist with Rock and Gem Magazine. Here is what the link used to say: "Moose Lake State Park General description: Minnesota's gemstone is Lake Superior Agate. At Moose Lake visit the Agate and Geological Interpretive Center. It is a 4500 square foot center that features agates, rocks, minerals and geology of Minnesota.

Collecting is not allowed in the state park but there are near by gravel pits were collecting is allowed with permission. State Park Site: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/moose_lake/index.html
