Visitors enjoy six miles of bridle and nine miles of hiking trails, swimming at the sandy beach, pleasant camping areas and shaded picnic spots with tables and fireplaces scattered throughout the 1,100-acre park.

Plants native to the area flourish and provide excellent cover for birds and wildlife. White-tailed deer can be seen almost every morning and evening along the park roads. Waterfowl are a common sight along the lakeshore.

park review stars; one to five My husband & I lived in Lamoni from 1990-1992, this was our favorite park to picnic & walk trails. We hope to go back again someday.
July 10 Nice Park but Not Employees by Cindy A
park review stars; one to five We have camped in Iowa State Parks for years without a single problem or incident. Love camping in Iowa but the Camp Host and the DNR employee were very rude and harassed us and other campers several times. Will not be back
July 31 First visit by Rode
park review stars; one to five Last week my wife and I drove through Nine Eagles park and spent the afternoon. We had spent the weekend camping at Lake Paho as we often do. We were very impressed with the ruggedness of the park, the amount of hardwood trees and the size of the lake. We determined a weekend stay here should be in our near future. The only down side has been trying to understand and use this web-site, making a reservation seems problematic. We may need to call ahead.
