Springbrook State Park

Wow, I went to the Springbrook Conservation Education Center yesterday and was amazed. There was a Fly Fishing Cabin Retreat for Fly Tying sponsored by the center as well as by Central Iowa Fly Fishing. We stayed in the dorms and had our meals at the dining hall. It is truly a 4 star lodging compared to my previous experience at other camps in PA, MA, and OK. There are tons to do if you want a break from fly tying– Atl-​atl (spear throwing), archery, trail hiking, plus exploring the lake. I went ice fishing for the first time at the park and it was pretty cool. The dorms are great– hot water and heat a major plus in addition to linens and bath towels. Dining hall is pretty large and food was pretty good with sticky buns for breakfast, soft tacos for lunch, and fried chicken for dinner. Be sure to check out a weekend stay for their education series. You will not be disappointed.
