Visitors of all ages will enjoy our lake and river recreation areas. Fishing, boating, water skiing, canoeing, and swimming are a few of the opportunities available at our county parks. Concrete boat ramps are available at Snyder Bend, Weedland Access, and Brown's Lake. A supervised swimming beach is found at Brown's Lake and Little Sioux Park.

Iowa state fishing licenses are required at all water recreation areas for Iowa residents 16 years old and older and nonresidents 14 years old and older.
