Beautiful day to be on the water. There are so many good points for this day. To start smooth as glass water. Went from honey creek to buck creek east to check out the changes this year like the entire buck creek east is 5mph. What a change. The beach water there was 80 degrees. After a nice swim went to Island View to chek out the beach. You have to anchor out and swim in. Took the fun out of that.day was gone and headed back to Honey Creekspent a hr there just boating around. We all had a great time

Amazing resort that rivals resorts in popular tourist destinations. A gem for Iowa. Nice bike trails, good restaurant and marina. Easy boat ramp, clean campsites. We stayed in the resort for family reunion, which worked perfectly!

If you love nature, you will love Lake Rathbun and the state Park. We saw raccoons, deer, wild turkeys and birds galore! The camp sites are a little close.

Our recent visit to Honey Creek State Park left us captivated by its natural beauty and abundance of outdoor activities. This park truly offers something for everyone, from breathtaking hiking trails to serene picnic spots and convenient camping facilities. Our day began with an invigorating hike, accompanied by our faithful four-legged companion. The trails were well-maintained and showcased the park's diverse ecosystems, providing us with a perfect blend of tranquility and adventure. After a refreshing morning hike, we found ourselves drawn to the park's enchanting lake. The lake access was abundant, allowing us to find a peaceful spot to relax and soak in the picturesque surroundings. The gentle lapping of the water and the soothing sounds of nature created a serene atmosphere, making it the ideal place to unwind. We appreciated the park's dog-friendly policies, which allowed us to enjoy the company of our furry friend throughout our visit. The policy is to keep your dog on a leash and pick up after them. Overall, Honey Creek State Park offers a nature lover's paradise, with its well-marked hiking trails, peaceful picnic areas, and ample lake access. The park's dog-friendly atmosphere and scenic beauty made our day truly memorable. If you're seeking a place to connect with nature, hike with your furry friend, and bask in the tranquility of a lake, this park is definitely worth a visit.
