Minnesota state park about 14 miles (23 km) from Moorhead near theNorth Dakota border. It protects one of the largest and bestprairie remnants in the state.At the time of construction in 1937, the park was the only state-owned recreational facility in the region. The park was built to include a swimming area, since there were few other recreation opportunities in the area. Three buildings and three structures in the park, built in the Rustic Style, were added to the
National Register of Historic Places .ee also
