Little Sioux Park
This 609-acre area provides a wide variety of recreational opportunities for the public. The 10-acre lake has angling opportunities for large-mouth bass, bluegill and channel catfish. Only electric trolling motors, oars and paddles are allowed on all county owned lakes. There is a designated swimming beach area. Hiking trails offer opportunities to explore the marsh, native trees, shrub plantings, native prairies and food plots.
Two campgrounds, Bellamy and Riverside, offer 95 sites (53 with full hookups and 42 with electricity & water), modern restrooms and showers. Playground equipment is located near the campground. Approximately 14 non-electric campsites are located on the west side of the lake with access to modern restrooms and showers. Four camping cabins are available for rental as well.
The Union Bridge Trail connects the park to the town of Correctionville with a ten-foot-wide concrete path that winds through scenic areas and crossing the Little Sioux River with a spectacular bridge.
