Pihls Park

6. Pihls Park

18mi from Lake Mills · 41 sites · Wells, MN
Pihl’s Park stands out as a unique destination due to its rich history as a private retreat transformed into a public haven for nature lovers. Originally established by Joe Pihl, who cherished sharing his stunning 20-acre property, the park was generously donated to Faribault County in the 1960s. This act of kindness ensured that everyone could experience the beauty of the land. Nestled along the shores of the expansive 256-acre Rice Lake, Pihl’s Park offers a fantastic environment for outdoor enthusiasts. Fishing is a popular activity here, with anglers often casting lines for pan fish such as crappie, bluegill, and sunfish. Visitors to the park can immerse themselves in its natural beauty, whether they choose to spend a day, a week, or an entire season exploring the scenic landscapes. With a variety of outdoor activities available, Pihl’s Park is the perfect spot for families and friends to create lasting memories while enjoying the great outdoors.
