Lake Metigoshe State Park, State recreation area in Turtle Mountains, North Dakota.
Lake Metigoshe State Park extends across 1,500 acres, featuring wooded trails, multiple lakes, and diverse wetland ecosystems near the Canadian border.
Workers from the Works Progress Administration constructed the park's initial facilities, including a lodge and recreation rooms, before its establishment in 1937.
The name Metigoshe originates from Ojibwe language, meaning clearwater lake of scrub-oaks, reflecting the indigenous heritage of this region.
The park maintains 84 campsites with electricity and water connections, plus rental facilities for kayaks, canoes, and outdoor equipment throughout the year.
The park contains multiple habitats supporting 174 bird species and plants uncommon in North Dakota, along with specialized winter recreation facilities.
