Lake Anita State Park, State park with 171-acre reservoir in Cass County, United States.
Lake Anita State Park is a recreation area centered on a reservoir formed by a dam on a Nishnabotna River tributary. The overall grounds span more than 1,000 acres combining water and land areas.
The park was developed in 1961 by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources as a recreation area. It was designed specifically for water recreation and outdoor activities in the region.
The park displays native tree and shrub species that belong to southwest Iowa's ecosystem. Walking trails help visitors understand the natural diversity found across the region.
The park provides camping areas, boat ramps, and picnic spots with water views for visitors. Cyclists and hikers can easily access the loop trail that circles the lake.
A paved path circles the entire lake and connects restored prairie areas to each other. This connection allows visitors to experience native plant lands and the lake on a single route.
