Not many people know where tiny Mill Lake is located in Todd County, but that is about to change. Mill Lake is located east of Browerville about eight miles on County Road 29. It is an idyllic setting in the Squaw Tip Hills left by three ancient glaciers which once covered the northern two-thirds of the state. The hills were formed by retreating glaciers which left rolling oak hills dotted by small ponds and lakes. Mill Lake is the proposed site for a new state park but not everyone is enthralled with the prospect.
