Review:
Situated along the Des Moines River in south-central Iowa, Lake Red Rock is an Army Corps of Engineers-built reservoir that offers a variety of great recreational activities, including boating, fishing, camping, and hiking. Located just over 50 miles southeast of the city of Des Moines, Lake Red Rock was formed with the building of the Red Rock Dam in 1969. Today, the lake is a popular recreational area offering both water-based recreation and land activities in the 35,000 acres of pristine woodlands and wetlands that surround the lake. Elk Rock State Park, Cordova Park, and Roberts Creek Park rest on the shoreline of the lake, along with several lovely beaches for swimming and many excellent hiking and mountain biking trails.
