| Camden State Park - Lynd |
Description
Visitors observe plants and animals of woodlands and prairies within Camden State Park’s 2,237 acres. Here in the Redwood River valley, Native Americans and pioneers were supplied with food, shelter from the harsh prairie sun, free-flowing spring water and protection from winter gales. Brawner Lake provides opportunities for canoeing or fishing for bass and bluegill. |
