At present, it has the somewhat unglamorous name of “Walnut Grove Reservoir,” according to Rolf Nackerud, a member of the local board for Plum Creek County Park.
However, the creation of the lake itself has enhanced what was already one of the most beautiful parks in this area and the only county park in Redwood County, Nackerud says.
