Wright bought the land along the Otter Trail River that eventually came to be the city of Fergus Falls which is now the county seat of Otter Tail County. Wright was responsible for building the Central Dam here. The statue depicts the man standing tall with right hand on his hip and his left empty. He is dressed as I would expect a surveyor or explorer of the age. The inscription reads, "George B. Wright. Surveyor, Versatile Businessman, who founded Fergus Falls, AD 1870, who promoted its interests, took part in its early activities and controversies and whose faith in 'the coming city' lent an impetus which endures." The statue is at the head of Washington Street where you will find parking. [Review 20754 overall - 165 in Minnesota - 1736 of 2023.]

There are two areas in this park to hike meadowbrook and bonanza. We hiked short trails in both…read more Meadowbrook was mostly a trail cut into a field. It had some nice wildflowers and butterflies to check out along the way. As it was only a mile, it was a nice way to stretch the legs. The hiking club trail is at the bonanza area which is about 11 miles from Meadowbrook. It's a walk along the lake which takes you to a small waterfall which is colored red from the iron in the water. We saw several deer, a turkey family, and a few frogs along the path. Nice hike. The gentleman in the visitor center was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

We had one of the few electrical sites. Park wasn't busy. This place is a secret?! There was a boat landing and parking lot adjacent to the campground. This is a fishing lake. Didn't see any water sports or even any swimming. As big as the lake is, it has a pond feel near the edge with algae and weeds. We still went in at the little beach area. Call us HOT and desperate. We found there was a big spring area in the water where it was literally freezing. I have felt cold spots in lakes before, but this was a big area where you could walk or stand on sand that was as cold as ice. ReFreshing! The staff comes by a couple times a day if you have questions. Otherwise there is a building with some tshirts and smore sticks where he hangs out.
