Prairie Park Fishery

Water is real low. A little duck family enjoying the sun.

Paved 2 miles. Great place for a walk overlooking the river.

Nice and peace full always good fishing and a great place to walk the dog

Great park for all kinds of recreational activities and within several minutes from downtown Cedar Rapids. Paths are great for walking, running, or cycling. Waters are calm and perfect for canoeing or kayaking. Plenty of fishing spots that offer solitude. Dog loves going on walks here. Paths are ADA compliant and very accessible from the parking lot.

Bank access is pretty limited and you have to walk a decent amount to access some open areas. If the water is high you can not access the part that allows you to walk out onto the island area. The lake is connected to the river so that happens when the water rises. Otherwise you can walk out on the island area. I caught a couple small largemouths here on the NED rig Minnow. If you have a boat this place would be much more enjoyable for fishing.
