Lac qui Parle is a French translation of the name given to the lake by the Dakota Indians who called it the "lake that speaks." Visitors to the park in the spring or fall will understand why. The lake is a stop over for thousands of migratory Canada geese and other waterfowl. Heat a chorus of honking, quacking, and other vocalizations. Paddle the lake, or cast a line and catch walleye, northerns, perch, or crappie. Explore one of the trails by foot or horseback. Visit the historic Fort Renville and Lac qui Parle mission sites. While in the area, be sure to visit the 27,000 acre Lac qui Parle Wildlife Management Area.
