Park is very nice. Lots of trails. The lake can be very busy at times.

The park is still a decent place to go hike or fish, but hunting is becoming less and less appealing. Lots of ground and good cover, but the population of almost everything seems to be down quite a bit compared to when I started hunting there 20 years ago. Especially quail (which I haven't seen in several years) and pheasants. The amount of ground and types of cover would indicate a huge population. Not so much. The worst is that a lot of the trails that used to be cut, to allow access, no longer exist. If you're not under 40 with very healthy joints, most of the hunting areas are a struggle to reach anymore. Plus a few of the plus where corn or beans would be planted haven't been used in quite a few years, they're just overgrown so bad you can't hunt them. Same as many of the trails on the south and west parts of the park.

Made my first visit here on the 4th. Found it to be a great place to kayak !! Drove round and explored a bit after our paddle. Very clean with a nice campground. Didn't hike or fish, but there were plenty of fisherman out so something must be in there.

A wonderful park with a 9 mile trail around the lake. You can kayàk, swim, have a pocnic or just enjoy the day in the park relaxing. The lake is stocked with many varieties of fish so you can come out and try your luck fishing as well. The trail csm be used for running, walking or horseback riding. A few gentle rolling hills make for a challenging run.

A wonderful location for photography! I traveled from North Carolina and stopped in here for some photos. I recommend this place as a nice area to relax for anyone passing through. The photos I've submitted are watermarked with my brand, Rogue Aperture Photography. Iowa is such a beautiful place to be!
