Recreation

Located 1.5 miles southeast of Whittemore. Originally called Whittemore Park, the name was changed to Siems Park in 1973. This park receives moderate use and has North and South camping facilities, two shelter houses, electric and water hookups ( daily rates apply), restrooms/showers and playground equipment.Camp Hosts stay on site and can answer any questions during your stay. In September of 2001, the pits were chemically renovated by Iowa DNR fisheries staff to remove an over abundance of rough fish. It has since been stocked with bluegill, largemouth bass and channel catfish. The park is managed as a wildlife refuge and hunting is not allowed. Members of the Whittemore Outdoor Club and local volunteers provide funds and labor for park improvements such as trees, grills and picnic tables.
