Top places to visit

1. 4.5 Beaver Lake State Park (7 reviews)
   - A hidden gem
   State Parks
   
   
   This small state park was a surprise for us. We live in the town where I grew up and this gem is only 60 miles away, yet I had never been there and wasn't really aware it existed until a few weeks ago. It is a pleasant place to camp, with about 30 campsites, most with electricity, and 2 camping cabins. It is well shaded, and the electric sites are all pull-throughs. There are two very clean comfort stations with showers, a playground, swimming beach, dock, fishing, hiking trails, a ranger program for the kids on Saturday afternoon and beautiful lake views. We really enjoyed our weekend here and plan to go back next summer. See more..
   
2. 4.5 Wishek Civic Center (4 reviews)
   - Historic Stone and Masonry Civic Center
   Civic Centres
   
   
   Built in 1942, this building is home to the annual Sauerkraut Day held yearly on the second Wednesday of October. Imagine rock and stone hauled from surrounding farms and then chisled to fit. A must see example of WPA/CCC build. See more..
   
3. 4.5 Wishek Badger (3 reviews)
   - Badger with Attitude"
   Monuments & Statues
   
   
   The Wishek Badger, a painted concrete sculpture, is a representation of the mascot of Wishek High School. It was constructed in 1978 by a group of boys enrolled in some sort of youth program. It stands at the corner of the city block where the high school once stood. The historic WPA city auditorium still stands in this same city block, and across the street west is the McTwist Drive-In. It's worth a stroll across the street from the McTwist to take a look at the Badger, who, unlike so many roadside statues, conveys attitude. He strikes a defiant pose. I wonder about those red eyes--was he once wired to light them up? His paint job could use a little touch-up. See more..
