This park of 50 acres is located in Emmet County near Estherville in the Des Moines river valley. A small stream flows through the valley. This stream is the outlet of Four Mile Lake, which has an area of 185 acres. Large amounts of drift material of the Wisconsin drift sheet may be seen. Many birds nest in this park, the more common being meadow lark, robin, nuthatch, and bluejay.
Wildlife is abundant with a large population of deer.
An evening drive through the park in early spring before the trees have leafed out, will usually produce sightings of some of the deer inhabitants. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources maintains a campground, picnic areas, a shelter house, walking and horse trails in the park. They also have a permanent home in the park for the park ranger.
