Pinicon Ridge Park

I absolutely love this part! It has everything you need for a wonderful camping trip or day trip. It has nicely groomed and extensive hiking trails, boat rental for canoes, kayaks, and paddle boats, a shuttle up for two or four hour long canoe trips, a wonderful biking trail that goes into nearby Central City, four camping areas with everything from primitive group camps to RV camping to a variety of nicely appointed and modernized cabins at affordable prices. The campground playground is one of the best playgrounds we have ever been at with really neat and unique play features that my kids absolutely love. It also has an observation tower which I believe is the highest point in Linn County. All in all it's a great place to camp; it'll keep your kids and you entertained for days at a time and it is one of my favorite spots.

I would actually rate it 5 stars. It's operated by Linn County in Iowa and they do a wonderful job of maintaining the grounds. It's a large Park and a wonderful place to bring a family for camping. It's a sizable park with lots of Wildlife. It is a very nice place to camp.

Great place for a weekend getaway. We bring our kayaks. It is a great stopping point after a float on the Wapsi.

I love taking the grandkids here to play on the wonderful playground, climb the tower, see the elk and walk across the Mary Lundby bridge.

This is a very nice park. They have a wildlife area with Elk and Turkey. Many areas for picnics, fishing, boat rentals, and playgrounds.
