| State Park Overview: |
| Curlew Lake State Park is a 123-acre camping park. It borders an air field, is eight miles from a public fossil dig and is also near an active osprey nest that can be viewed from the park. Curlew is one of the most relaxing campgrounds in the state, offering water-and snow-sport activity as well as natural-history and archeological study in the midst of gorgeous surroundings. The park has archaeological significance as a former Indian campground. An active osprey nest is viewable.

The park is a great home base for bicycle tour groups.
There are many fishable lakes and streams in the area. Fishing at Curlew Lake is good for trout and large-mouth bass.
The fossil-dig site at Stone Rose is worth the trip for the rock hound and the archeologically curious. A trip to Grand Forks in Canada is a nice day trip for the family.
