Fodor's Expert Review Steel Visitor Center

Open year-round, the center, part of the park's headquarters, has restrooms, a small post office, and a shop that sells books, maps, and postcards. There are fewer exhibits than at comparable national park visitor centers, but you can view an engaging 22-minute film that describes the lake's formation and geology and examines the area's cultural history. The building was closed for structural renovations in 2022 but is expected to reopen in 2023.
