This is truely a nice state park. There are no city noises at all, as this park is away from that nestled out near famland and small towns. Quite the gem! They have cabins too.

Pretty park. Nice, small campground. River Great for wading!

Great place to camp, fish, nature walks, and have picnics with friends and family. Great place for get togethers and reunions. Spotty cell phone service.

This is a beautiful park, but the information about the trails isn't easy to find. Go to the campground area, and there are maps near the check-in station. The trails aren't well marked, but you can figure it out... beautiful views of the Des Moines river, Prairie Creek, and limestone cliffs.

Excellent hike to the top to see the Indian Mounds and then down the back side to the river. There are several miles of trails, I made it through about 2.3 miles. Very peaceful and the river is nice.

There was road construction on the main access road so we had to hike in but once there we were pleasantly surprised! The trail we hiked was very nice and provided a lot of variety.

This is a beautiful, lush state park. There's a playground for the kiddos, a few paths to meander through the tall trees, a creek to wade in (and catch minnows), grassy areas to play in, many picnic benches, and clean bathrooms (also a couple port a potties that are not so clean but there if you're desperate). There's a small camping area that looks nice.

This place is tucked away amongst farmland and it is beautiful. There's so much to explore here and the rock bluffs are incredible if you've never seen them. As we entered we saw a deer and other wildlife. There are so many hiking trails and places to have a picnic. You can camp in cabins and go kayaking or fishing. Be ready to spend easily all day here.

We had our wedding there. The center lodge is absolutely amazing! It has several tables...nice tables, a fridge, a fireplace, a back patio with a very large grill and more seating, the bathrooms are close by and there is plenty of parking! I would highly recommend this park and this lodge. My wedding photos were awesome and everyone had a great time!
