Springbrook State Park

How would you like nearly 1000 acres of beautiful Iowa hills and trees to escape, relax, hike and enjoy?

Well, less than an hour away, Springbrook State Park offers a wide selection of recreational opportunity! Some of the highlights are the facilities like the Conservation Education Center and the multi-family cabins which feature heat and AC. The campground boasts 80 electric sites and 37 non-electric, plus a sand volleyball court and horseshoe pits so get a group together because there are plenty of spots and even more activities.

Hiking through all the varied terrain of Guthrie County can be a great escape and Springbrook offers many trails. Picnic shelters are also available and can be reserved for gatherings and make an excellent option for a daytrip or lunch outing.

River access is provided to the Middle Raccoon River just north of Lake Panorama and there is also a 17acre lake with bass, crappie, bluegill and catfish. One great feature is the fish cleaning station offered. You could also plan a float or canoe trip and put in 1 or 2 miles away and float right into the park.

Springbrook also features deer management hunts and other hunting opportunities -a rather rare benefit to this state park! For more information click on the link to the newly redesigned and very easy to use DNR page.

I hope to see you out there!
