From Fort Dodge go south on Nelson Ave / P59 to T Corner and turn left or head East on D33 and follow to park. From Lehigh take 290th or D43 northwest out of town turn right onto Dolliver Park Ave/D33 and follow to the park.
This is a beautiful park with lots of trails, high sandstone cliff walls, and not a bad camp ground. There are cabins there as well though I've never stayed in one. It has many picnic tables and grills and a few bathrooms; although they are not super clean and don't have sinks in them, only hand sanitizer (at least the one across from the playground didn't.), but they do have flush toilets. One thing to be aware of if you are wanting to wade it the pretty little stream that runs through the park is that it gets very swollen when there's been rain.
This place was a great place to stop on our road trip. We were looking for a place to stretch our legs and this was a fantastic find! The grounds were beautifully kept, the playground was great for my toddler, beautiful scenery, and a few trails that I'd love to explore! The bathrooms were also better kept than some homes I've been in. Can't wait to come back.
This place is tucked away amongst farmland and it is beautiful. There's so much to explore here and the rock bluffs are incredible if you've never seen them. As we entered we saw a deer and other wildlife. There are so many hiking trails and places to have a picnic. You can camp in cabins and go kayaking or fishing. Be ready to spend easily all day here.
This is a beautiful, lush state park. There's a playground for the kiddos, a few paths to meander through the tall trees, a creek to wade in (and catch minnows), grassy areas to play in, many picnic benches, and clean bathrooms (also a couple port a potties that are not so clean but there if you're desperate). There's a small camping area that looks nice.
Beautiful park, lots of varied terrain for hiking. Boneyard Hollow is a nice little canyon, and the cliffside trail leading up to the Indian Mounds is gorgeous (if a bit exhausting to climb!).
