Lake of the Hills

PRIDE Lake is eight acres in size, 15 feet deep and includes a small island. It is located near the south entrance to the park and was dug out in an “L” shape to be visible from Whispering Pines Shelter, a popular lodge in the park. The lake will be stocked with fish in the fall of 2006 and ready for fishing in 2007.

The Iowa DNR Bends to Beaches water trail is initiated by our partners at the Clinton County Conservation Board and makes stops in both Clinton and Scott Counties.

With favorable conditions at the Center, you may access the Wapsipinicon River at the low-impact access along the River Trail. The Center offers overnight facilities for day trips or accommodations for longer stays can be made and it is recommended that you schedule well in advance as the beauty of the Wapsipinicon River attracts many throughout the seasons.
