One of the best is in the northwest corner of Hickory Bend Conservation Area and accessible by the Flint River Trail. They’re a bit of hike to get to, but that’s part of the adventure, right?ĭes Moines County isn’t exactly known for its topography but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some great scenic overlooks to enjoy. The second is at the Leopold Recreation Area just at the north edge of Burlington at the end of Mill Dam Road, northwest of the CNH plant.īoth ponds are stocked with bluegill, crappie, largemouth bass, and channel catfish. The first is at the Linder Conservation Area just off 170th Ave. There are small little fishing ponds at a couple of our natural resource areas that have been renovated and restocked in the last several years and now offer good fishing opportunities. So today, I’m going to share some “hidden gems” within Des Moines County’s park system that I wouldn’t expect a lot of people to know about but which are definitely visit-worthy. I’m well aware of the neat spots out there and it’s easy to forget that not everyone else is.

I’ve worked in Des Moines County’s parks for almost 15 years. It never ceases to amaze me how many people I encounter out in our parks that say something to the extent of, 'Wow, I never knew this place was here!' Then they get super excited about exploring an area of their own community they hadn’t even known existed.
