    The park was created in 1941 to offer recreation along Lac qui Parle Lake. It started as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project for flood control along the Minnesota River. The WPA workers also built three, unique stone and timber buildings that you can still find on the west side of the lake. The lake's name is a French translation of the name the Dakota people gave it, "lake that speaks." If you visit in the spring, thousands of migratory waterfowl stop at the lake, adding a chorus of honking and quacking. Visit the park to experience the migration, paddle the lake, cast a line for fish, trek the trails or visit a historic site.
