Old Mill State Park

Up near the borders of Canada and North Dakota, Old Mill State Park isn’t as isolated from civilization as you might expect. While you will see deer, moose, jackrabbits, beavers, and owls everywhere, civilization isn't a lifetime away. Nearby the towns of Argyle and Stephen are home to plenty of restaurants, shops, and even a hockey rink.

A swinging suspension bridge connects the campsites to an ancient beach on glacial Lake Agassiz, or you'll find primo snowshoeing during the winter months. If you can, try to plan your stay around the park’s annual running of the old mill—named for the steam-powered flour mill operated by the Larson family here in 1882. Swing by during the event to see the historic grist mill running (once a year!) as part of their special event programming.
