Father Hennepin State Park, Minnesota state park in Mille Lacs County, United States.
The park spans 320 acres along Lake Mille Lacs, featuring a large beach, hardwood forests, and two accessible fishing piers for recreational activities.
French missionary Louis Hennepin, for whom the park was named in 1941, documented the geography and indigenous cultures of the Mille Lacs region.
Native American tribes originally inhabited this land near Lake Mille Lacs before European settlers arrived, leaving significant historical markers throughout the area.
Visitors can reserve campsites with electrical hookups, use modern shower facilities, and access designated swimming areas during the summer season.
The park provides winter activities including cross-country skiing trails and ice fishing opportunities on Lake Mille Lacs when temperatures drop below freezing.
