This 116 acre area has been added to the
Sioux County Conservation Board management plan in 2014. With the addition of
this property there is a campground, swimming beach, fishing/boat access,
and hiking trails. There is also open air picnic shelters available, along with
an enclosed rental facility. Unique to this area is the outdoor archery range,
and indoor archery range available with membership. New prairie has been
planted in a portion of the park offering up a hiking trail system. The area is
also attached to the City of Sioux Center’s paved walking/biking trail.
