"My brother-in-law completed the Booneville Backroads Ultra 100 Mile Race at this park on Labor Day Weekend. Like many said, it was overgrown and we did not see any sunflowers. It was still beautiful though!"
"Park is nice, though not well maintained now.. no Sunflowers, just corn and prairie 2023. I went in 2022.. thousands of sunflowers, absolutely stunning and super busy. Parking lots were somewhat maintained. This year, 2023.. nope. The same field that was flowers is now corn. The parking lots are getting weed filled and shabby with pot holes. It's still a pretty park in Iowa.. just not being monitored at the same level it was and no sunnies anymore. Maybe they're just cycling the field and flowers will be back in the future.. idk. Go for the prairie and water beauty, don't go this year in search of sunflowers!"
"First visit to this state recreation area. The lake is beautiful and the wild sunflowers (not giant sunflowers) were beginning to bloom, along with other wild flowers, which I enjoyed viewing. But the park roads are disintegrating and there isn't any outhouses or picnic tables on the east side of the lake. You will need to travel on at least 3 miles of gravel to get into the area. It seems the fishing is good, but the area around the lake needs some TLC."
"We went out to find the sunflower fields & weren't disappointed. The park has a beautiful lake, a couple boat ramps, hiking trails, & is a great place for photography especially when the sunflower fields are in bloom."
