Split Rock Creek State Park

336 50th Avenue Jasper, MN 56144

Hiking Club Trail Description

The trail begins at the beach area. Follow it north along the lake, also known as the Split Rock Creek Impoundment. Hike along the base of the beautiful Prairie Hill with its 1930s Works Progress Administration (WPA) water tower and onto the main campground area. The trail winds through the campground past the group camp. Next, follow the trail along the prairie’s edge along the Split Rock Creek Stream from which the park takes its name. The trail then swings back to the south along the road and back over the top of the Prairie Hill and wanders south toward the Split Rock Creek dam. Hike across the dam to a small trail loop for a splendid view of the lake. Then return north along the lake to the trail’s beginning. Watch for waterfowl activity along the shoreline sections and see the rare prairie plants blooming on the highlands.
