Another special feature of the park is the 18-hole Green Lakes State Park Golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones. Such lakes have a high potential for evidence of ancient plant and animal life. Both Round and Green Lakes are meromictic lakes, which means that there is no fall and spring mixing of surface and bottom waters. Green Lakes State Park's outstanding features are its two glacial lakes surrounded by upland forest.
