Hendricks Minnesota Lake Park

There is something for children of all ages at our Lake Park, which we have continually been improving for over 100 years. This is the heart and sole of the town, where we come to frolic, relax, or meet up with old friends. Whether you're coming for a weekend or a while, you'll love our lake park!
