What is the country of origin for the Monson Lake State Park and the Dakota War of 1862?
Monson Lake State Park Monson Lake State Park is a state park of Minnesota, USA, originally established as a memorial to 13 Swedish American pioneers who were killed there in the Dakota War of 1862. A district of 1930s New Deal structures is on the National Register of Historic Places. Despite being nearly doubled in size in 2009, the state park remains one of Minnesota's smallest. It is located off Minnesota State Highway 9 just west of Sunburg and 20 mi northwest of Willmar. This seasonally-staffed park is managed from nearby Sibley State Park.
Waskesiu Lake Waskesiu Lake ( ) is a lake located roughly in the centre of Prince Albert National Park. The lake's name, meaning "red deer," or elk, in the Cree language, is also the name of the resort town northwest of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, on its eastern shore. Waskesiu Lake is by far the most developed lake in the park, and features a variety of recreational facilities along all sides of its shoreline, including two public camp grounds: Red Deer and Beaver Glen. The lake has one island off its western shore known as King Island (formerly Devil's Island) after park founder William Lyon Mackenzie King.
