The City of Rice is located approximately 5 miles north of Little Rock Lake. A channel connects Little Rock Lake with the Mississippi River, which runs along the western city limits of Rice. A recently developed boat landing on the
channel offers access to both Little Rock Lake and the Mississippi River.
On the edge of Rice, where the Mississippi River and Platte Rivers converge, you will find Two Rivers Campgrounds, which has camping, recreational activities and tubing available.
There is also camping available at Benton Beach Campgrounds which is located on the NW corner of Little Rock Lake. Benton Beach Campground offers wooded tracts, shoreline of Little Rock Lake, play area, and softball field.
For the avid golfers, the local 18 hole golf course and driving range, "Oak Hill Golf Club," is a chance for a fun and relaxing round of golf. In addition to the local golf course, many of the Central Minnesota's other fine golf courses are within a 20 minute drive.
The Graves Farm, a County acquisition as of August 12th, 2002, is talked about in future park plans.
Rice is located just minutes from a wide variety of parks/recreation activities.
