County
Leading You Outdoors
Explore more than 12,000 acres of prairies, wetlands, woodlands,
trails, and parks. Located in the state’s most populated county,
Polk County Conservation manages 18 parks, wildlife areas,
and recreational trails. Our mission is to provide citizens of Polk
County with quality outdoor recreation, conservation education,
and the long-term protection of Polk County’s natural heritage.
Polk county Conservation offers the public year-round education
and recreation programs, volunteer opportunities, and trips. We
have something for everyone… Plan a family picnic, golf 18 holes
on a championship course, canoe down the river, reel in a trophy
fish, ride horseback along Saylorville Lake, use public hunting
areas, or get some exercise biking on a multi-use trail.
It’s time for your family to meet Polk County Conservation’s
Family of Parks!
