Lake Levels

  • Green Valley State Park
    The lake renovation project is well underway. The lake is 12 feet below normal pool and will remain that way throughout the spring and fall, so the beach and boat ramps will remain closed for the rest of the 2009 recreation season. The fishery has been renovated and restocking has taken place. In-lake projects such as fish habitat structures, shoreline improvement, jetty and boat ramp repairs have been completed. Reconstruction of the spillway is nearly complete. The campground and cabins are closed until the campground renovation is complete. The campground anc cabin work will be done this summer and fall, but probably not available for use until the beginning of the 2010 recreation season. For additional information contact the park office at 641-782-5131 or via email at green_valley@dnr.iowa.gov. (updated 6/19/08)


  • Lake Darling State Park
    The lake is being drawn down for a 3-year renovation project starting 11/10/08. This project will impact all water based recreation for the next 3 years until the project is completed and the lake is allowed to return to normal pool level. The campground, cabins, lodge and picnic shleters will be open and available for use. For updated information please contact the park office at 319-694-2323. (updated 11/25/08)


  • Lake Wapello State Park
    The lake renovation is complete and the lake is refilling. It is currently two/thirds full and there has been initial fish stocking of bass, channel cat, and bluegill. There needs to be several more inches of rain to completely fill the lake. The dock, boat ramps and swimming are not available at this time until the lake fills more. The trails, cabins and campground remain open. There will be no boat rentals, bait, snack bar or restaurant this year. (updated 6/18/09)
