Minnesota River Valley Scenic Byway
Big Stone Lake State Park, MN

Big Stone Lake is 30 miles long and is located on the South Dakota-Minnesota border. The lake is the source of the Minnesota River and attracts anglers in search of walleye, northerns, and bluegills. The northern section of the park, called the Bonanza Area, provides a picnic area, boat launch and a primitive group camp for guests. The area also includes the Big Stone Lake Environmental Education Center, which provides a place to discover the past and ways to preserve it. The southern section of the park, called the Meadowbrook Area, contains a campground, swimming beach, and hiking trails.
