Wildcats den is a nice place to go and visit during the summer. They have primitive camping and outdoor toilets no showers. Great place to have a picnic and do some hiking. There is a lot of rock formations

The park is a great place to hike. They have a real working grist mill. You're able to tour all 3 levels and very little is off access. They'll even turn it on for you! Awesome park.

Great place for several short hikes. There are picnic tables available. Much of the trail was accessible with a stroller and some muscle.

Very good state park. The trail maps can be confusing. Not many signs to help you on the trails. Well covered park with sufficient shade. Not crowded. The 100year old mill make a great must see.

I see there is camping allowed in designated areas, however do you need to reserve a spot or is it first come/first serve? I know it was first come first serve but are there new regulations?

It is best to call the parks and recreation department directly. So many temporary changes are in place now, it's better to know for sure.

Do you allow winter snow camping in late November early December?

Stephen Hunter | Nov 6, 2020
Evan Ram-Z | Nov 7, 2020

It's open year round 😁

Do they have firewood for sale in the park or will I need to purchase in town?

Jen Grossenbacher | Nov 6, 2020

There are a lot of sticks and logs on the forest floor... a little gathering goes a long way for forest management anyway. We brought a hand saw when we camped.

Soon!

Are there bike rental facilities at this park? If not, do you know where the nearest place would be?

Mary Thom | Oct 7, 2020
Sara Coggin | Oct 8, 2020

There are not. I would guess Muscatine would be the closest if they even offer it.
