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!
9 mile trail to bike, hike or horseback. Nice secluded tent camping. Nice bathrooms, and a beautiful big lake to fish or kayak.
This would be a good place for a picnic and hanging out on the lake. The nature trail is nice and the longer trail is a good 8-9 mile hike, though parts of the trail felt very far from the park and were more in neighboring farms. There were some very beautiful views of the lake. A good day hike.
Awesome place ..... awesome for a family day out.. There is also a small beach.... however due to the corona situation the area was shut off... you can still drive around the park while maintaining social distance from others .... I walked a few places ... people were also out with boats fishing
DNR officers will harrase you and try anything to give you a citation. The DNR @pleasant creek illegally hunt people ! I will never go back to Palo Lake again and I've been going there for 38 years.
They've got cabins RV in tent camping. It's a good place to go kayaking or canoeing or boating. And it's a great place to fish!
Nice park, stayed 9 nights, beach is clean, some of the water spigots don't work and are antique, I would give 5 stars but the DNR are over policing, I understand the need for safety but these guy's are draconian.
Whenever I get free time and want to feel being with nature, I go to this lake. Nice, peace and calm.
Beautiful camping area with a lake view. We stayed in the cabin - very clean and well maintained. Perfect place for the family to enjoy nature.
Clean, beautiful and a great place to mushroom hunt.
