Homestead Parklands County Park is a gem of a spot, offering a variety of activities for visitors. The lake is full of perch, and there are many floats, kayaks, and small boats available for rent. The sand is clean, and the area is quaint, making it a great destination for families, kids, and friends. The park boasts paved and unpaved trails, allowing visitors to explore the scenic lake and its multiple docks. Visitors can also enjoy swimming, floating, paddle boarding, kayaking, or hiking, with equipment rentals available at times. The park is well-maintained, with clean water and beach space. Restrooms and picnic areas are also provided. While parking can be a challenge, the park's annual pass makes it a cost-effective option for frequent visitors.
Such a neat place! I had no idea this existed until the park ranger at Glenwood County Park told me about this place. It is an absolute gem! Plenty of walking paths, many access points to the lake, huge nice beach, and I think you can rent kayaks, paddle boards, etc from the station. Definitely check it out!

Beautiful landscape along the trails on a small lake. Water can get mucky during hot/dry months.

Gem of a spot. Lake is full of perch. Also, there are many floats, kayaks, and small boats. Clean sand. Quaint area for family, kids & friends. Our rented hut space had very few mosquitoes, which is a PLUS.
