Great park with good camping spots, swimming beach, and fishing. Just keep in mind all camping spots are first come, first served and you have to take your trash with you as they do not have dumpsters on site. Definitely a place we plan to revisit.

There is awesome progress with trails and clean up. It looks promising, can't wait to see continued progress. The geese families are growing, the grass and water are clean and inviting.

I absolutely love coming here to camp. At the beginning and through the end of the season! Had our first camp of the year and caught some blue gills thank you central

this is a beautiful park. good fishing, lots for kids to do. a very well spread out primitive section, the camper section is a little tight for my taste. for those without a tent or camper they have cabins with electric and a/c. boat docks, canoe and kayak rental and a shower house. five miles from Anamosa and a walmart if you need anything

It sounds like they will not allow swimming until next year. They still have a lot of construction to do in the beach area. We have seen kayaks out.

Will the lake be ready to fish may 17th 2019?

Alan Schindler | May 7, 2020
Jessica McWilliams | May 8, 2020

The main lake was stocked last fall with fish it will be a few years before the fish are worth keeping and really should not be attemptemted as they would only be killed in the process of catching and releasing. The large pond has fish that are of good size for keeping.
