Fisher Grove State Park, State park near Redfield, United States.
Fisher Grove State Park stretches along the James River in South Dakota, providing visitors with outdoor recreation and rest areas. The grounds include campsites with electrical hookups, picnic areas, and access to hiking trails and water activities.
The site once served as a crossing point for the stagecoach line running between Watertown and Pierre, utilizing a traditional American Indian river ford. This route connected early settlements and played a key role in regional travel during the frontier period.
The park takes its name from Frank I. Fisher, the first permanent European settler in Spink County. The land is managed and maintained by the Fisher Grove Country Club, a local body rather than the state, which also runs the adjacent ten-hole golf course.
The park is open year-round with facilities suited to different types of visitors. Plan to spend time exploring the waterfront and trails, particularly during warmer months when most activities are available.
The adjacent golf course has ten holes, not the standard eighteen or nine, and is run by the Fisher Grove Country Club, the same body that manages the park. The club also maintains the park's camping, swimming, fishing, hiking and canoeing facilities.
