Ridge Park
Ridge Park, a locally popular campground on the south side of Milk River Ridge Reservoir, can be reached on Hwy 844 just west of Raymond or going east on Hwy 506 near Warner. The 16 km (10 mile) long reservoir has plenty of room for waterskiing and includes some variety of scenery on the water with several islands east of the campground. Fishing for walleye, pike and whitefish is productive and the bays on the south side of the reservoir yield some large pike. The reservoir has a relatively unknown rookery where seagulls from a large surrounding agricultural area come to spend the evening and many birds fill the sky near sunset. Along with the boat launch, two camp kitchens, a dock, and other amenities, a large grassed open play area adjoins the playground make this a favorite spot for young families. The water play area is a somewhat rocky beach that is roped off. Stay for a few nights of camping in one of the 49 camping sites or come just come to play for the day. (Ridge Park is undergoing some renovations this year, but camping and day use areas are still open to the public. However, the number of camp sites has been reduced.)
