Big Lake State Park is a public recreation area located in northwest Missouri, United States. The 407-acre (165 ha) state park was established in 1932 at the northern end of the state's largest oxbow lake, Big Lake. Park activities include boating, camping, picnicking, fishing, and swimming.[4] Because park accommodations have been repeatedly destroyed by Missouri River floods, the park began using wheeled rental cabins that can be moved in the event of flooding in 2016.[5]
