About

Lake Lida features a sandy beach and large picnic areas perfect for families and groups. The park's scenic route offers excellent opportunities to observe wildlife, including 150 bird species and 50 mammal species. The maple forest displays brilliant orange, gold, and red colors in fall, making it a popular destination during autumn. Day use visitors can enjoy fishing in the park's eight major lakes and numerous ponds, which are home to walleye, bass, northern pike, and panfish. Ice fishing is popular during winter months. Boat, canoe, and kayak rentals are available from the park office for exploring the waters. Hiking trails connect to various scenic viewpoints, including Hallaway Hill, and lead to pre-contact habitation sites within the forest-prairie transition zone.
