Seminoe is usually presumed to originate from the Seminole Tribe, but in fact it is only an Americanized spelling of the French word Cimineau, after Basil Cimineau Lajeunesse, a french trapper in the area in the 1800s. Seminoe State Park is about 34 miles north of Sinclair and is great for fishing. The state park is located on the northwest side of the Seminoe Reservoir, which boaters enjoy frequenting. Seminoe Reservoir has 180 miles of shoreline, one of the largest in the state. Camping elevation can be from 6400-6500 feet. Some sites in the park have shelters for picnicking, because there are no large trees in this region. Trout and Walleye fish are abundant and for the catching in the 20,291 acres of water, and water life and birds can be seen throughout the park.
