Zippel Bay State Park

Since there hasn't been a review in almost half a year, I'll give some details on the park's condition as of 6/30/22. The lake is beyond full, and the eastern access point is totally underwater. If you want to see the lake you need to drive straight up the road. The south loop trail has some tree branches on it that you might have to work around, but other than that, you will be fine. The trail runs outside the park on the south side and is very wide because it is used by snowmobiles in the winter. The trail system at this park isn't very connected, with most of my hike being along park roads.

A beautiful place for a walk on the beach. Shallow water for swimming. Fun place to bring your dog. Usually pretty quiet.

This is a great state park with a beautiful beach, nice trails and quiet campgrounds. Best blueberries too! Lake of the Woods has excellent fishing also. We started coming here when our kids were young and now we're coming with them as adults and our grandchildren!

The lake is great! The campgrounds are definitely rustic. The closer to the lake the more rustic they get. A bear got into garbage in the campground and made a mess. There are no bear proof garbages (a metal can with a rock on it doesn't count).
