Overview

About

Ancient glaciers, you are awesome for carving out so many rad places for us to explore and play in. Lake Hiddenwood Recreation Area is a grand example. This refreshing area was once home to Native Americans and early explorers and now you can settle in here too. Out of the vast prairie land this oasis of trees and water pops up out of nowhere, hence the name Hiddenwood, and has lots to offer the modern day explorer. You could get in the water either on your boat or via the swimming beach, hike around the under the canopy of the shady trees, and find the perfect picnic spot. Afterwards chillax back at your campsite and soak in the cooling shade and lake breezes with a frosty beverage in hand. A winning combination if you ask us!
