One of the new additions to Iowa’s collection of state parks, Elinor Bedell State Park is an 80-acre space which was established in 1998. As you walk through the park you’ll come across prairies, wetlands, and oak savannah, along with an array of Scots pine and sugar maple trees. The environment is absolutely beautiful no matter what time of the year you decide to visit. Recreational facilities include miles of trails for hiking, a wildlife viewing blind for those who want to see various species of wildlife and birds, fishing for white bass and northern pike, and a small campground which can accommodate tent and RV campers.
