Please Note: A variety of trail projects will be ongoing from April through November 2012. This may result in temporary closures to certain sections of trails, including the Lake trail. For details please call the park office, thank you in advance for you cooperation.

 

Green Lakes State Park's outstanding features are its two glacial lakes surrounded by upland forest. Both Round and Green Lakes are meromictic lakes, which means that there is no fall and spring mixing of surface and bottom waters. Such lakes have a high potential for evidence of ancient plant and animal life. Another special feature of the park is the 18-hole Green Lakes State Park Golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones, where visitors can snowshoe in winter, and there are 10 miles of trails that cross-country skiers can use.

Did You Know?
The park's glacial lakes were formed at the end of the last ice age - about 15,000 years ago!
