Echo Valley State Park

Echo Valley is a 100-acre natural area owned by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and managed by the Fayette County Conservation Board. The park preserves many historical structures hand-built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's. Recreational opportunities include picnicking in the shelter house, trout fishing in two separate trout streams, hiking the Echo Valley Environmental Nature Trail, or camping at one of the park's primitive campsites. Hunting is not allowed in the park but the adjacent state-managed Glovers Creek Fish and Wildlife Area is open for public fishing and hunting.
