Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Glacial Lakes State Park was founded in 1963 as a means of preserving some of the remaining rolling prairie, which can’t be found a lot these days, but once covered much of the state. The park and the surrounding area contain many glacial landforms because of its location near the Wisconsinan glaciation. Located in the Leaf Mountains, the 2,423-acre park is filled with flora and fauna that reside in the woodlands and prairies.

Other than wildlife viewing, you’ll also be able to go boating, fishing, swimming, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing. Stargazing is also extremely popular at the park because of its remote location with low light pollution.
