Blue Mounds State Park

Blue Mounds State Park is a state park in Rock County. It was established in 1937.

Blue Mounds State Park State Park spans 387,214 acres in Minnesota — a designated recreation destination with the full set of facilities the state park system provides. The park is not lake-dense, 0 lakes nearby in our dataset, but a nearby lake is the standout among them on the readings.

State parks pair well with the lake pages: the park itself usually has interpretive signage explaining the local lake system, but the per-lake readings tell you which actual lake in the system to head to.
