Rice Lake County Park

Northern pike fishing draws anglers to Rice Lake County Park, where a small lake provides boat-in access for campers seeking water-based recreation. The county-managed park offers a handful of free campsites with no water or electric hookups, making it a basic option for self-sufficient campers. Some residential homes sit around the lake perimeter.

Located near Minot, the park serves weekend visitors looking for a simple lakeside setup. Campers wanting more amenities can explore camping near Minot or check out Nelson Carlson Lake to the south.

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.
