Glen Elder State Park is on the north shore of the 12,500-acre Glen Elder Reservoir, which is also known as Waconda Lake, a reservoir in the Mitchell and Osborne counties. Located just west of the city of Glen Elder, the reservoir was built for flood control and irrigation and offers a quiet rural place to relax and enjoy a range of activities, including swimming, boating, fishing, picnicking, hiking, and bird watching. The park also features the living museum of the Waconda Heritage Village, which highlights the history of the Native American tribes who lived in the region, as well as a visitor's center, a marina, an amphitheater, and camping facilities. Other activities that can be enjoyed include volleyball, softball, and cycling around the park.
