Lake Cornelia — Attraction in Iowa

Lake Cornelia is surrounded by a friendly lake community. The water is generally quite clear with some patches of "sea-weed". Boats & jet skis dot the lake. Lake is reported to be 240+ acres.

There is a Hike & Bike Trail on the North & West sides of the lake. It is in good repair. I would estimate about 1.5 - 2 miles one way.

I also enjoyed the area country roads for running & biking. They are quite. I did not come across stressed out or angry drivers. Though there was no dust on the days I have been out there, I can only imagine that at some point over the summer, they will dry out more and dust would increase if a car went by.

The camping areas looked well organized & clean.

I am unable to comment on the fishing. However, many fish are visible in the water from shore.

Very relaxing place. Confident of future...

This is a very nice county lake and area. There are about 88 campsites. Some full hookup and some just electric. Full: $22, electric: $17. All sites are first come first serve.

Absolutely the best campground in Iowa! Perfect blend of nature and quality amenities. Perfect family fun with fishing, boating, nature trails, swimming and scenic sunsets! The locals that live around the lake are some of the friendliest people we've ever met! Pets welcome and the county rangers are always around to help you anytime.
