The Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge consists of 11,586 acres of marsh and open water created by a three-mile dam across the Minnesota River Valley, providing wetland habitat for many species of waterfowl and shorebirds, displays of which can be particularly exceptional in spring and in late summer. With over 6,000 acres of grasslands, including large tracts of native prairie, the area houses numerous species of grassland birds, as well as the only known population of ball cactus in Minnesota. The refuge also features an automobile drive and walking trail with views of the lake, its granite rock outcrops, native prairie, and wildlife
