Located in Polk City, Big Creek State Park has a little bit of everything: Picnic areas, a beach, boat launches, hiking trails, and plenty of places to camp. It also happens to have one of the most impressive playgrounds in the state of Iowa, a sturdy structure that has stood the test of time.
The park sits on the shores of Big Creek State Lake, which was created as part of the Saylorville project to protect the city from flooding.
In the summer, the lake is full of happy swimmers and people fishing in the clear waters.
