Pammel Park
County: Madison
Bathrooms: Restrooms (not available during winter)
Trails: Dirt/gravel
Mileage: 2 miles is all I got done with the construction and no way to cross the water
Useful information: Closing roads around it for concrete work. A lot of washout areas on trail. A lot of damage from the derecho from 2020, as seen in the panoramic shot.
From county website https://www.mycountyparks.com/County/Madison/Park/Pammel-State-Park.aspx: Pammel Park was originally one of the first State Parks in Iowa (dedicated in 1928), Pammel Park has been managed by the Madison County Conservation Board since 1989. Pammel is noted for its natural woodland beauty highlighted by its signature limestone ridge known as the “backbone”. Pammel is home to numerous botanical treasurers that include a lush diversity of woodland vegetation from wildflowers and native plants to the best quality Walnut stands in central Iowa. Some of the oldest recorded Oak trees anywhere in the State grow from the craggy surfaces of the “backbone”. All this natural beauty is graced with the meandering flow of Middle River. This 350 acre park, with carefully planned development, is quickly becoming the destination park of the Madison County park system.
