A brief introduction to Glendalough State Park
Glendalough State Park is a state park of Minnesota, USA, in Otter Tail County near Battle Lake close to Minnesota State Highway 78. It is named after Glendalough in Ireland.

The park contains 1,931 acres (7.81 km2) on land and 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) on the water.
