Flaming Prairie Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Managed by the Louisa County Conservation Board, Flaming Prairie Park sits near the Mississippi River in a remote corner of southeastern Iowa. Sites include fire rings, electric hookups, picnic tables, and grass-gravel lanes. Restrooms and picnic shelters are on-site, though both have been noted as needing updates. Access to the river is a short walk or drive away, with fishing and paddling available but no boat ramp. The access road is rough, so low-clearance vehicles should plan accordingly. Nearby, Langwood Education Center provides an additional option in the area. Reservations are available and recommended, especially if hookup sites are a priority.
