Lake Shetek State Park occupies 1,108 acres on the southeastern shore of Minnesota’s largest southwestern lake. The park features 14 miles of trails including the Loon Island Trail (1.5-mile interpretive loop on a 45-acre island bird sanctuary), Casey Jones Trail (6-mile paved bike loop connecting to Currie), and Prairie and Woodland Trails through restored prairies and 250-year-old oak groves. A sandy swimming beach has a bathhouse with changing rooms and restrooms. The park is a designated geocaching demo park with free GPS loaners at the office. Portage trails connect to Smith Lake and Park Lake for paddlers seeking quieter water. Equipment rentals available: canoes, kayaks, SUPs, paddleboats, and birding kits. Built by the WPA in 1934, the park’s stone causeways and historic beach house are part of its Depression-era heritage. A $7/day or $35/year vehicle permit is required.
