Review & FAQ:

Rice Lake State Park was established to preserve the land that Native Americans once used for harvesting wild rice long ago. The marshy edges and shallow waters of Rice Lake today attract several different species of waterfowl during their migrations. Visitors can also find camping opportunities in the Minnesota wetland beneath tall hardwoods, as well as opportunities for birdwatching, picnicking, and nature photography, especially of spring wildflowers. Popular winter activities include snowmobiling and cross-country skiing along the trails. For more secluded camping experiences, visitors can venture across Rice Lake and stay at one of the canoe campsites.
