Situated on North Dakota’s largest body of water, Devil’s Lake State Park actually has three state parks within it. Labeled as the "Enchanted Waters" in the 1930’s by the Fremont Expedition, Devils Lake is among North Dakota's most picturesque regions.
The biggest of the three parks as well as the most developed is Grahams Island State Park. The other two are Shelvers Grove State Recreation Area and Black Tiger Bay.
The expansive lake is well known by fishermen for its wide variety of large fish. The boat ramps and bait shop attest to the popularity of fishing in this lake, especially ice fishing as larger sized catch abound in the winter. The adjoining hills, densely populated with foliage are inhabited by small game.
There is a well maintained state snowmobile trail, The Lake Region Trail which is enjoyed by many in the snowy months.
The Devils Lake Area Chamber of Commerce offers information about the Perch Express, a special Amtrak package that transports ice fisherman to the area in Winter.
A great location for overnight visitors, there are camping facilities with electrical hookups and water.
