Discover Black Hawk Park in Cedar Falls

Black Hawk Park is named after Chief Black Hawk of the Sauk Indian tribe. He was a very successful leader and displayed a great love of nature. Black Hawk Park was the first park acquired by Black Hawk County Conservation. The first portion of the park, 325 acres, was acquired in 1957. The park is now one of the largest county parks in Iowa. The park's 1,490 acres form a greenbelt called the Cedar River Wildlife Area from Cedar Falls to Cedar-Wapsi Rd. Bridge, four miles north.
