Park History and Changes
Long ago, there were several state parks around Devils Lake. These parks were sometimes called "Devils Lake State Parks." They were all part of the North Dakota state park system.
Over time, the water level of Devils Lake changed a lot. Because of this, some of the parks had to close. For example, Narrows Recreation Area closed in 1995. Shelvers Grove State Recreation Area closed in 2004.
By 2014, Black Tiger Bay Recreation Area also closed. It became hard to reach because of the water. This park used to have a boat ramp and a big parking area.
Today, Grahams Island State Park is the only one still open. It was first opened in 1988. It continues to be a popular place for people to enjoy nature.
