Lake Property

• No vehicles allowed off the gravel lane or the asphalt pad. The only exceptions are those using the special use area below the dam or those performing duties or maintenance on the land.

• Absolutely NO alcoholic beverages.

• Those Adventurers wishing to fish must have a current Adventure permission slip and a valid Iowa fishing license in order to fish. You MUST have your permission slip in your possession when fishing, or you must leave (having it in your car or at your house does not count). Children under age 16 do not need an Iowa fishing license. Guests fishing with Adventurers are covered by the Adventurer?s permission slip.

• NO LITTERING. If it goes in with you, take it back out with you. Please also help us keep the area clean by picking up any litter left by others.

• Absolutely NO swimming.

• Call 563.650.4008 to report any violations or suspicious people.

Adventure attenders can use the lake property for camping, hiking, picnicking, and other outdoor activities (other than fishing) without needing written permission. We reserve the right to revoke land use privileges to anyone who does not comply with the rules or show respect for the rules and the land. We do formally schedule events for some individuals or groups to use the area (or specific parts of it). Those scheduled events take priority over private recreation.

Fishing Permission Slips are now available at the Welcome Center. To continue with our fish restocking, we are asking for a $5 donation which must be made at the time you receive the permission slip. The slip must be in your possession (not your car or back at home) when you are fishing. Anyone 16 years of age and older must also have a valid Iowa Fishing License to fish.

Fishing without a permission slip is considered trespassing and theft.
