Oakwood Lakes State Park, State park with eight glacial lakes in Brookings County, United States.
The park spans across interconnected lakes surrounded by forest areas, offering trails that wind through diverse natural environments and lakeside landscapes.
Samuel Mortimer established a presence in 1869 by constructing a log cabin that continues to stand within the park boundaries today.
Native American communities utilized this location as a seasonal gathering place, conducting important meetings and ceremonies throughout the summer months.
Visitors can access 139 campsites, seven camping cabins, and six horse campsites, with daily vehicle entry fees of 8 dollars.
The park maintains winter recreational activities with designated trails for cross-country skiing and areas designated for ice fishing on the frozen lakes.
