Rice Lake State Park, State park in Steele and Dodge Counties, Minnesota, US
Rice Lake State Park extends across 1,070 acres of land, featuring wetlands, forests, and prairies surrounding a central recreational lake.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources established Rice Lake State Park in 1963 to preserve the natural ecosystem and offer recreational spaces.
The park serves as an educational center where naturalists conduct programs about local wildlife, plant species, and environmental conservation throughout the year.
Visitors can access camping facilities, hiking trails, fishing spots, and boat launches from spring through fall, with winter activities including cross-country skiing.
The park maintains specific zones for horseback riding, with designated trails connecting to broader regional equestrian path networks.
