F.W. Kent Park-Johnson County Conservation
www.johnson-county.com/conservation/publicUse/kent_park.shtml
This picturesque 1,082-acre park is located 3 miles west of Tiffin on Highway 6. A 27-acre lake, which contains catfish, large mouth bass, bluegill, walleye and crappie, provides the angler with many fine hours of fishing enjoyment. Come and explore the prairies, forests and wetlands, camp or enjoy a swim after an afternoon of fishing, hiking or participating in any of the other activities at F.W. Kent Park.
The Conservation Education Center is utilized year-round for educational programs and workshops. Current programs include prairie hikes, fishing clinics, programs on specific outdoor skills, day camps, weekend workshops, and much more. Youth and adult groups can work with the J.C.C.B naturalist to schedule conservation-related programs in this building. Many educational materials are available for checkout by group leaders. Insect nets, aquatic study equipment, binoculars and other materials are available. For further details contact the naturalist at (319) 645-1011.
One half of the building is a hands-on learning center featuring interactive displays, dioramas, a wildlife viewing area and many other interesting features.
Nine and one-half miles of hiking trails featuring grassed and crushed rock surfaces run through Kent Park's many native communities. The crushed rock trail around the lake provides anglers with access to the entire shoreline. In the winter, some of the trails are groomed for cross country skiing.
Seven historic country road bridges have been relocated to Kent Park and utilized on the trail around the 27-acre lake.
