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!
Park is very nice. Lots of trails. The lake can be very busy at times.
I’ve been going here for years. Met up with family camping a couple times but otherwise I’ve always come here for the fishing. I haven’t really ever caught anything but my middle boy loves coming out here when I bring my Jon boat, nothing compares to the happiness he has when out on the water
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.
Clean campground. Great views. Awesome camp hosts and conservation officers. Quiet nights. About to find out how the the fishing is.
