T. F. Clark's Park
T. F. Clark's Park is a 79 acre multi-use facility. The original park (24 acres) was acquired from the State of Iowa in 1960. Prior to that time the park was managed as a very small state park.
In 1978 the 55 acre addition was purchased. The addition was purchased with assistance of the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The addition, an undeveloped bottom land timber, is managed as a Wildlife Refuge supporting mushrooming, fishing, hiking and nature observation. No hunting or trapping is allowed. No ATV's or snowmobiles are allowed in park.
