Lake Shetek State Park, State park with recreational lake in Murray County, Minnesota.
Lake Shetek State Park spans 1,109 acres of land featuring wetlands, rolling hills, and seven miles of shoreline along southwestern Minnesota's largest lake.
The park contains landmarks from the Dakota War of 1862, including a monument commemorating fifteen settlers who lost their lives during the conflict.
The Works Progress Administration constructed multiple facilities in the 1930s, establishing the foundation for modern recreational amenities within the park.
The park maintains seventy drive-in campsites with electrical hookups, boat launches, swimming areas, and fourteen miles of hiking trails throughout the grounds.
Loon Island, a 45-acre landmass within Lake Shetek, connects to the mainland through an interpretive trail system sharing information about local flora and fauna.
