The area will offer hiking, jogging and walking, along with all non- motor recreation on the water, similar to Maffitt Reservoir.“The former quarry provides an operational benefit to Des Moines Water Works’ ability to produce safe, affordable and abundant drinking water to 5.

It is a top priority for the DNR to provide great areas like this to help attract newcomers outdoors to enjoy nature,” said Chuck Gipp, Director, Iowa DNR.
