Rice Lake County Park

Boat-in access makes Rice Lake County Park a remote option for campers willing to paddle across the small lake to reach the free campsites. The county-managed park sits on a lake stocked with northern pike, with residential properties scattered around the shoreline. Sites lack water and electric hookups, keeping the experience basic.

Campers bring their own supplies and rely on vault toilets for facilities. Cell service reaches the area, and both campfires and alcohol are permitted. For additional land-based options, consider Nelson Carlson Lake to the south. The park works well for anglers and paddlers seeking a weekend getaway with minimal amenities.

Peaceful

The lake is small just northern pike. There is few campsites that are free. No water or electric hookups. For a weekend getaway close to Minot this may be the spot. There are some homes around the lake.
