"Best restroom in the United States"


The winner of the annual award goes to a state park bathroom in Minnesota.
Bear Head Lake State Park (Ely, Minnesota): Nestled within one of Minnesota’s most beloved parks, the restroom and shower building at Bear Head Lake State Park provides more than just function—it offers thoughtful design in a stunning setting. With a fully accessible layout that meets all ADA guidelines, this facility ensures comfort for all visitors. The exterior dishwashing sinks are a camper-friendly touch, providing a convenient space to clean up without trekking back to a waterless site. Surrounded by the serene beauty that earned Bear Head Lake the title of America’s Favorite State Park in 2010, this restroom is proof that practicality and natural beauty can go hand in hand.
"Minnesota bathrooms have won twice before: Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport’s in 2016 and Varsity Theater’s in Minneapolis in 2013."

The key elements considered for the award are cleanliness, visual appeal, innovation, functionality and unique design elements.  The other 8 finalists (from Texas, California, New Hampshire, New York, Florida, Kansas, Utah, and Colorado) are listed at the Cintas website.
