Pearrygin Lake State Park

About Pearrygin Lake State Park

Pearrygin Lake State Park is a great place for a day trip to one of the state's most popular parks. The lake offers swimming, fishing and boating, and the park has extensive green lawns leading to the lake, as well as a variety of picnic areas, picnic tables, a playground and a picnic area.

Summer temperatures are in the 80s and 90s, and old willow and ash trees provide shade on hot summer days. Winter temperatures are well below zero, but the lake and lake park offer great views of the Mississippi and the riverbank, as well as the old trees - which grow.

The Pleistocene glaciation formed a small valley that holds the lake in this area, and water flows from the surrounding mountains into the basin of Pearrygin Lake. The average annual rainfall of 11 inches is about twice the average annual snowfall of 6 inches. In spring and summer, the water of Pearygin Lake flows into the lake an average of 2.5 inches per year, and in summer it flows 4.7 inches.

The park was opened in 1964 as a recreational area within a national park and 94 hectares were added to the park. In 1972 the campground was renovated and rebuilt, with a new campground, picnic area, picnic areas and a campfire. Two cabins are available from April 25 to October 29 and three cabins from October 30 to December 31.

Each cabin sleeps four and is equipped with a stove, sink with hot water, shower, toilet, stove and sink.
