Rock Creek State Park, State park in Jasper County, United States.
Rock Creek State Park encompasses 1,697 acres of land with a 602-acre lake, multiple boat launches, docks, and trails for outdoor activities.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources established this recreational area in 1952, transforming the region into a significant outdoor destination.
The park shares a strong connection with Grinnell College through a dedicated bike path, making it a recreational center for students and faculty.
The park maintains 200 campsites, including waterfront spots, modern restrooms, shower facilities, and rental options for boats from April through October.
During winter months, the entire lake surface freezes, creating natural conditions for cross-country skiing and snowmobile activities.
