| Fishing on the 64-acre lake for bass, northern pike, tiger muskie, channel catfish, bluegill & crappie is a popular sport. The lake's timbered watershed makes it one of the clearest artificial impoundments in the state. Only rowboats & electric motors are permitted. A fish cleaning station & a boat ramp is also located nearby.
The beach which offers unsupervised swimming, is a great place for swimmers & sunbathers, young & old. A playground & picnic area are close by.
Rugged wooded hills & valleys abundant with oak trees makes Nine Eagles one of southern Iowa's most scenic parks. The park has some trees which are more than 300 years old. Visitors enjoy six miles of bridle & nine miles of hiking trails, swimming at the sandy beach, pleasant camping areas & shaded picnic spots with tables & fireplaces scattered throughout the 1,100-acre park.
Plants native to the area flourish & provide excellent cover for birds & wildlife. White-tailed deer can be seen almost every morning & evening along the park roads. Waterfowl are a common sight along the lakeshore. |
