Natural area is a more apt description. It has a boat ramp with a couple of picnic tables and grills, but not any of the usual hiking trails you find in other parks in Iowa. If you want to explore the park, you'll want long pants and shoes you don't mind getting muddy as you'll be cutting your own trails through tall vegetation. We did find a number of fungi, so if that's your thing this is a place that won't dissapoint.
