Nestled in the Des Moines River valley just a stones throw from historic Lehigh and minutes from Fort Dodge, Dolliver State Park is a place any outdoor enthusist would enjoy.
The park offers hiking trails through rugged woodland terrain and scenic views of sandstone and limestone cliffs. Indian mounds are also within the park boundaries. There are several picnic opportunities and two lodges that can be reserved for large gatherings. Dolliver features a group cabin site with 10 separate cabins and 33 camping sites with electric hookups. It also offers two family-style cabins that sleep 4 and include a sink and a refrigerator. Those cabins are a good value too at only $35/night!
Prime river access for canoe or boat adventures can be found just below the campground and the fishing right along the shore there is pretty good too! I had my first channel catfish within 10 minutes when I went there. Park officers also reported several Walleye, Bass and big Channel Cats being taken near the campgrounds.
If you want a day trip, or weekend getaway for not much money, Dolliver State Park is worth checking out.
