Lake Louise lures hikers, horseback riders, skiers, and snowmobilers to its trails, which wind through open landscapes and lush hardwoods. The confluence of the Little Iowa and Upper Iowa Rivers that occurs in the park provides water recreation. In addition, visitors swim, boat, or fish in Lake Louise. Hiking and horseback riding are also popular sports at this park. The lakeside picnic grounds and beach area draws visitors in the summer.

Visitor Alert!The Cady bridge which provides access to the campground has a 5-Ton weight limit. Vehicles and campers exceeding this weight should contact the park for other options, or check out this map that shows how to get around the bridge.
CAMPING SEASON EXTENDED The camping season for the main camp, horse camp, and group camp will be extended this fall through Sunday, October 3. The extension will allow campers to enjoy the park during the best weather of the year, and without annoying biting insects which have prevailed through the state this summer. Many late asters, gentians, and other prairie flowers should be in bloom to greet visitors, and September can provide incredible viewing for butterflies and migrating birds. Fishing also picks up in September. Campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis, or may be reserved by calling 866-857-2757.
