Wapsipinicon State Park

Wapsipinicon State Park sits on the edge of the town of Anamosa and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Many of the park’s structures, including the stone arch bridge, lodge, and shelters, were handcrafted by prisoners from the nearby Anamosa State Penitentiary. The park features more than three miles of multi-use trails winding through wooded areas and open grass prairies, which are also open to cross country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter. Amenities include electric campsites, full hook-up campsites, non-electric campsites, walk-to campsites, modern restrooms, showers, playground, boat launch ramp, boat dock, day-use lodge that is ADA accessible, and shelters. The Playground Shelter is ADA accessible, and the Rotary Lodge is available year-round for large events and can be reserved up to 12 months in advance through the online reservation system.
