The Mountain Lake Site (Smithsonian trinomial: 21CO01) is an archaeological site in Mountain Lake Township, Minnesota, United States. It is a deeply stratified village site spanning the precontact era from the late Archaic to an Oneota occupation, with a particular concentration of Woodland period ceramics. The site is atop a hill that was formerly an island in a lake. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 for its state significance in the theme of archaeology.
In the late 1970s the site was developed into Mountain County Park, a public park operated by Cottonwood County.
