“The Lake that Speaks!”
Lac qui Parle is a French translation of the name given to the lake by the Dakota Indians who called it the "lake that speaks." If you visit in the spring or fall you'll understand why. The lake is a stop over for thousands of migratory Canada geese and other waterfowl. You'll hear a chorus of honking, quacking, and other vocalizations. Paddle the lake, or cast a line and catch walleye, northerns, perch, or crappie. Explore one of the trails by foot or horseback. Visit the historic Fort Renville and Lac qui Parle mission sites. While in the area, be sure to visit the 33,000 acre Lac qui Parle Wildlife Management Area.
The upper campground is only a couple of years old, and the lower campground is well established. Sites range from primitive to full hookups. Great for hiking and birding in the summer, and snowshoeing in the winter. Cross country trails are great when the DNR funds grooming.
