Green Lakes State Park
Green Lake State Park's glistening, mirror-like lakes are two of only a few lakes in the US that are meromictic.
Established in 1928, Green Lakes State Park is unique for its two glacially formed lakes. Green Lake and Round Lake are two of a few lakes in the US that are meromictic, meaning no spring or fall turnover occurs as in most lakes, so the surface water does not mix with the bottom water.
This leaves them always a gorgeous glistening blue and tranquilly mirror-like which, along with the rolling, wooded hills, always make for wonderful photo opportunities. Along with its tenting and RV sites, Green Lakes facilities include a beach, rowboat rentals, cabins, food concessions, trails, picnic tables and pavilions, a playground, showers, and dumping stations. Another special feature of the park is an 18-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones and a clubhouse.
A Hippocampe Beach/All Terrain wheelchair is now available at Green Lakes State Park to access beach and trails. The wheelchair is available for use at no charge on a first come, first serve basis from 11am-7pm.
