About Hartford Beach State Park

Hartford Beach State Park sits on Big Stone Lake in eastern South Dakota, offering shaded wooded grounds, campsites, and four year-round camping cabins. Visitors can use five hiking trails that pass burial mounds, a prehistoric village site, and overlooks. The park also has a nine-hole disc golf course, an archery range and trail, swimming and boater beaches, a boat ramp, and a picnic shelter. Anglers come for perch, bluegill, crappie, walleye, bass, and northern pike. A log cabin trading post from 1863 to 1873 stands at the eastern end of the Robar Trail.
