Iowa State Parks
A fantastic park but please clean up the two trees you felled that are lying at the edge of the lookout. They look terrible lying there. 
we were here October 14, 2011, and spent an hour or so. Wish we would have had more time to spend! Had to take the detour as we came from the north and the north road was closed.
Nice trails, but be cautious if it is foggy--it was hard to see 100 ft ahead and a little disorienting. The fog did add a mysterious beauty the surroundings, and we did get some nice photos of the river and the mist.
I remember visiting my grandparents farm and aunt/uncles place when they lived by pikes peak state park. When i was little We always had picnics at the park until all the places were acquired. Going to the park brings back fond memories of my grandparents. Its a gorgeous place who knew!! we were looking for another camp ground and found this and stayed. Nice campgroud.
Great view Annual motorcycle ride to Iowa and Wisconsin. Never miss stopping at the Park. The views are Awesome. I have gone to Pikes Peak St. Park once a year since my oldest son was 8 and he is now 55. The camping is the best and the view is fantastic. Give it a try. You will love it. always been my favorite place to go since we 1st visited 11 years ago The view is spectacular and the park is a nice place to picnic. We enjoy it whenever we are in the area. This is a terrific place to go and the view is awesome. I did not have time to do any hiking or possibly this would be a 5 star for me. Definatly worth the ride. This is a very pretty place in the state of Iowa. A must see if you are in the area. 
you could spend the whole day there
