Shelter Quilts
Many of our park shelter houses wear a quilt
year round. We hope you enjoy this colorful piece of our heritage
at Little Clear, Meredith Park, Lizard Lake, Cooper’s Cove, and
Rosenberger Park.
Interpretive Signs
Be sure to check out PCCB’s new
interpretive signs at Melson Park, Sunken Grove, Swan Lake,
Wiegert Farmstead, Cooper’s Cove, and Three Rivers Trail. We
hope you enjoy their stories and photos while learning a little
more of Pocahontas County’s natural and cultural heritage.
Sunken Grove Island
PCCB manages this 35-acre island
located along the shores of Sunken Island Lake and surrounded
by over a thousand acres of state and federal restored prairie
and wetlands. The new observation deck across from the picnic
grounds is a great place to observe thousands of migrating and
nesting waterfowl, muskrat huts, and a bald eagle nest.
Cooper’s Cove/Whitetail Ridge
Cooper’s Cove is home to
many recent projects – upgraded campsites, new shower house,
and new pond overview. The oak savanna, keystone bridge,
pond, and woodland trails along Lizard Creek remain the same.
“Pine Tree” Quilt at Rosenberger Park
Winter solitude at Cooper’s Cove.
New overview & sign tell the story of Sunken Grove.
