Lake Bronson State Park, State park in Kittson County, United States.
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.
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.
The park sits where prairie and forest meet, creating a space where visitors can observe different bird species and wildlife in their natural habitat. This transition zone supports plants and animals adapted to both environments, making it a living example of regional diversity.
The park features multiple camping areas with modern facilities, boat ramps, and swimming beaches that support different activities by season. Winter visitors can use cross-country skiing and snowmobiling trails throughout the grounds.
The nearby town changed its name from Bronson to Lake Bronson in 1939 to honor the creation of the new reservoir. This name change reflects how the water body became central to the community's identity.
