Discover Big Stone Lake RV rentals for memorable road trips

Big Stone Lake is a long, narrow lake that marks the boundary of South Dakota and Minnesota. Gouged by a long-extinct glacier as it receded its way north 10,000 years ago, Little Minnesota River was dammed in 1937 in order to create an irrigation supply for the local farmers as well as to provide flood control. The lake, which gets its name from an abundance of large rocks and stones in the valley, has evolved into a recreational hotspot for fishermen and outdoorsmen.

Getting Outdoors

Nearly as wide as the mighty Mississippi River, Big Stone Lake is only 16 feet deep. The lake is extremely shallow in spots, and it’s recommended that boaters choose water vehicles suitable for such conditions. On the upside, fishing in this lake is excellent, often producing trophy-sized fish. Fishermen and anglers come from all over the country to try their luck at catching a record-setting fish. Among 30-odd species of fish, walleye, northern pike, and bluegill are especially good. There are 12 public boat ramps along both sides of the Minnesota-South Dakota border.

Camping at Big Stone Lake

Wake up to the sound of birdsong and waves lapping gently at the shore. Camp at Hartford Beach State Park, a few miles from Corona, SD, to fulfill that fantasy. This campground is open year-round, though some of the public amenities like showers may be shut down. The campground offers electric hookups, and also, canoe and kayak rentals.

Exploring the Area

Pioneers and settlers descended upon this area as early as the mid-19th century, and some of their original homes, structures, churches, and cemeteries stand to this day. Spread out in tiny towns dotting the landscape, exploring each one to get a glimpse into this country’s history will require a rental motorhome. Along the way, keep an eye out for quaint little shops, farm stands, and antique stores that every town seems to have on their main streets.
