Lake Bronson State Park, State park in Kittson County, United States.
Description
Lake Bronson State Park is a Minnesota state park built around a large reservoir surrounded by prairie and forest. The grounds include hiking paths, camping areas, boat access points, and swimming beaches for seasonal recreation.
History
The park was built during the Great Depression in the 1930s and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its dam, water tower, and main structures were constructed as part of public works programs from that era.
