Shetek is an Ojibwe word for pelican. The beautiful birds flock to Lake Shetek in the summer and fall for a taste of that Minnesota hospitality. Join our feathered friends and come discover what Lake Shetek State Park can offer you. Highlights include the massive lake, of course, but also a 45-acre island in the middle, just waiting to be explored, a rustic cabin that memorializes the rugged pioneer settlers from days gone by, and a six-mile loop bike trail that will easily pop you into the town of Currie if you run low on provisions. Just like the Shetek, you can easily catch your fill of fish for the table. Hook your dinner via the handicap accessible fishing pier, or rent a boat for a more secluded adventure. Either way, you’re sure to fall in love with Lake Shetek State Park.
