This state park is a little hidden gem on the Minnesota border. Nestled between Lake Cochrane and Lake Oliver, ample fishing, boating, swimming, and hiking opportunities await your family camping weekend! Reservations may be made online for our spacious electric campsites or log camping cabin. Bring family or friends to enjoy the scenery of Lake Cochrane Recreation Area while settling into the cabin. Four can sleep comfortably in the set of bunk beds and double bed. Inside is a table and benches; outside, a porch, picnic table and fire grate.
Largemouth bass are ample in both of these lakes for your fishing adventures. Lake Cochrane also boasts excellent populations of walleyes, bluegills, perch, crappies, and northern pike. Fishing piers and boat ramps on both lakes make access a breeze. There are also a number of public hunting areas in Deuel County that provide access to South Dakota’s world class pheasant, waterfowl, and deer hunting.
