Lake Manawa State Park
Lake Manawa is one of western Iowa’s premier spots for boating, hiking or just relaxing outdoors. More than 1,500 acres surround the lake and originally constructed in 1881 after a Missouri River flood, Lake Manawa State Park continues to be a major outdoor recreation center for thousands of visitors. “Manawa” is a Native American term meaning peace and comfort, making it the perfect spot to read a book, have a picnic or enjoy the outdoors during your visit.
In total the park stretches 1,529-acres. The lake was formed by a Missouri River Oxbow that today provides fishing, premier power boating, paddle boats, and beaches. The park includes eight miles of mountain bike trails as well as hiking and nature trails.
Lake Manawa State Park offers fun for the whole family, including:
