Parks

Pottawattamie Conservation is proud to operate and maintain five parks that attract nearly 200,000 visitors each year.

For those of us that know our parks best, it comes as no surprise that Pottawattamie Conservation's parks draw visitors from around the globe.  From riparian floodplains where bison and elk herds roam to 300-foot-tall dunes of silt, from canoeing still morning waters to hiking a ridgeline at dusk, or from backcountry camping or glamping, Pottawattamie Conservation's parks offer so much more than anyone expects.  Explore the best that western Iowa has to offer in Pottawattamie Conservation's parks.

We are also proud to maintain six habitat areas across the county that are free and open to the public.
