Less than 20 miles from Brucemore, the 925-acre Pinicon Ridge Park is known for its scenic woods and river front. It is home to many species of wildlife. The Alexander Wildlife Area is a 6.5 acre area originally designed to restock resident populations. The Wildlife area has mallard ducks, American elk, white-tailed deer, and Canada Geese on display in the wildlife pen. Several hiking trails are available for exploring and exercise.
In addition to the Alexander Wildlife Area, you’ll enjoy the Pinicon Ridge Observation Tower. The tower stands 1028 feet above sea level and is the highest point in the county. From the observation platform, you’ll enjoy the fantastic view of the Wapsipinicon River Valley and the countryside.
“The campground is called Flying Squirrel. Electric and water is available with a very nice dump station near the cg entrance. This park gets very busy in the weekends and is first come first served so a mid week arrival is recommended. Miles of hiking, biking and paths through the woods A foot bridge connects the cg with the main park over the river. The park is very well maintained and the staff is very responsive to any issues. Power went out during a thunderstorm on a Sunday night but the staff had the situation under repair immediately and we had power in very short order. This is one of the finest county parks we have visited and rivals some of the higher rated commercial parks in the area. Sewer connections would make it a near perfect camping environment. We camped at Pinicon Ridge Park in a Motorhome.” – Beech35p, RV Park Reviews.
