OCTOBER, 1966 UPPER RED LAKE STATE PARK FEASIBILITY STUDY GENERAL CONCLUSION The proposed Upper Red Lake State Park contains recreation resource values that could make it one of the more outstanding parks in Minnesota. The consultants unhesitantly recommend the Upper Red Lake site for a state park because it: 1) exemplifies the natural landscape, native vegetation and wildlife of a major physiographic division of the state; 2) provides a logical place for interpreting the story of Minnesota homesteading; and 3) contains exceptional opportunities for active water related recreation and other park values.
