About Lake Hiddenwood Recreation Area
Settlers named this glacier-cut valley for trees hidden from the open prairie until you topped the hills; the 1927 earthen dam that formed its lake washed out in a 2018 flood. Come for disc golf, hiking and a quiet night at one of 13 electric campsites near Selby.
