Gull Point State Park

Gull Point State Park spreads along West Okoboji Lake with stone buildings, nature trails, and a beach for water activities.

The Civilian Conservation Corps Company 778 constructed the park's sandstone buildings between 1934 and 1935, creating structures that align with natural surroundings.

Two distinct areas of the park received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for their architectural significance.

The park maintains 112 campground sites, boat launching facilities, and a lodge that accommodates 140 people for private gatherings.

The park's lodge stands as the largest structure built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in Iowa during the 1930s construction period.
