Pillsbury Point State Park, State preserve at West Okoboji Lake in Arnolds Park, United States.

Located on a peninsula extending into West Okoboji Lake, Pillsbury Point State Park spans 6.48 acres with stone walkways and benches along the shoreline.

The park holds strong ties to Native American history as the location of the Spirit Lake events of 1857, with a memorial nearby.

Visitors can access the park through Gull Point State Park management office, which oversees the grounds and provides information about available facilities.

At 2.62 hectares, this state preserve stands as the smallest park in Iowa, featuring lake access points and historic stone structures.
