Zippel Bay State Park, State park on Lake of the Woods, Minnesota.
The park extends along the white sand beach shoreline of Lake of the Woods, offering 57 campsites across two designated camping areas.
Wilhelm Zippel established a commercial fishing enterprise in 1887, leading to the development of a fishing village with a post office by 1909.
The area contains evidence of prehistoric settlements along the Rainy River, marking the presence of indigenous tribes before European exploration.
Visitors gain access to fishing opportunities throughout the year, with species including walleye, sauger, and smallmouth bass in Lake of the Woods.
The park occupies land that formed part of ancient Lake Agassiz, resulting in mineral-rich sandy soil that supports jack pine and birch forests.
Location: Lake of the Woods County
