Green Lakes State Park is the perfect place to visit over and over again with friends, family, and especially pets. This year, the senior class will get a chance to enjoy everything it has to offer on their Senior Day, Thursday, June 13.

Green Lakes State Park's outstanding features are its two glacial lakes surrounded by upland forest. Both Round and Green Lakes are meromictic lakes, which means that there is no fall and spring mixing of surface and bottom waters. Such lakes have a high potential for evidence of ancient plant and animal life.

Green Lakes has so many options, including beautiful beaches, trails around those beaches with amazing views, and toddler-friendly playgrounds. Adults can even rent rowboats and kayaks to take out onto the lake.
