Parks

The Polk County Department of Parks & Trails would like to invite you to visit any of the county operated boat landings, dams, forests, parks, and trails. The County Parks are peaceful and scenic with four park shelters and one education building available to rent, and one with primitive camping. The parks are by water with fishing accessibility and playgrounds.

Stop by and visit our many other recreation amenities in Polk County.
