Fishing & Hunting
Big Stone Lake, located on the Minnesota-South Dakota border near Ortonville, is a premier multi-species destination known for excellent walleye, jumbo perch, bluegill, and crappie fishing, with no closed season. The 12,600-acre lake features shallow, rocky structures, making it ideal for spring fishing and ice fishing. The area offers prime hunting for pheasants, deer, and waterfowl, particularly within the Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge.
