Big Stone Lake State Park, State park on Big Stone Lake, Minnesota.
Big Stone Lake State Park extends across 986 acres of land with diverse terrains, including lakefront areas and meadows divided between Bonanza and Meadowbrook sections.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources established Big Stone Lake State Park in 1961 at the headwaters of the Minnesota River.
Indigenous peoples lived along Big Stone Lake before European settlement, leaving traces of their presence throughout the current park grounds.
The park maintains dedicated areas for swimming, fishing docks for catching walleye and northern pike, and camping facilities with modern amenities.
The park shares a border with South Dakota's Hartford Beach State Park across Big Stone Lake, creating connected recreational spaces between two states.
