Let the beauty of soaring sandstone “ledges” soothe and inspire you. Hike to Inspiration Point, Council Ring or the Lost Lake. Scenic overlooks along the way provide spectacular views of Pea’s Creek canyon. Many trails have steep portions, but the fully accessible interpretive trail to Lost Lake fits hikers of all levels. Establish a base camp at the Ledges campground before setting off to explore the park and the interesting sights of nearby communities. In the fall, visitors can revel in the marvelous display of autumn colors.

You need to watch the Des Moines River levels because it fills the lower part of Ledges when it floods .
A different experience each time you visit! Love it!
