Lake Bronson State Park

Lake Bronson State Park spans 3,598 acres of land featuring a 325-acre reservoir, hiking trails, camping grounds, and multiple recreational facilities.

The Works Progress Administration constructed the park's dam, water tower, and facilities during the Great Depression, earning its place on the National Register of Historic Places.

The park represents Minnesota's natural heritage through its transition zone between prairie and forest ecosystems, supporting diverse plant and animal species.

Visitors can access multiple camping areas with modern amenities, boat launches, swimming beaches, and winter trails for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.

The city near the park changed its name from Bronson to Lake Bronson in 1939 to acknowledge the creation of the reservoir.
