Lake Red Rock is found along the
Des Moines River about 4 miles from Pella, Iowa. Like many Iowa
lakes it is actually a 19,000-acre flood control reservoir in
Iowa managed by the USCOE. At more than 50,000 acres Red Rock
is also Iowa's largest expanse of public lands. The reservoir
provides guest with numerous opportunities for outdoor adventure,
including camping, hiking and biking, and features nature areas
and a visitor information center. Picnic table and public toilets
are also among the amenities.
Lake Red Rock is a prime spot for Iowa fishing and there are also
excellent fishing opportunities in the river just below the dam.
10 to 12-inch Crappie are common in the spring and white bass
are plentiful in the late summer and early fall months. Below
the dam anglers can expect to find outstanding spots for catching
walleye, channel and flathead catfish, northern pike, and bluegills
throughout the year. |
