Bentonsport Park & Historic Venue

Bentonsport Riverside park runs along the Des Moines River and Bentonsport Historic District.  The Conservation in the late 1960's invested in a few of the historic building.  Through time, these buildings were restored and now have different people renting the buildings for antique, art and craft shops.    

The shelterhouse can be reserved for $25.  To reserve, call 319-293-3589

The park is adjustant to the campgrounds.  An Iron Truss bridge crosses the river and people can walk across it.   A shelterhouse, gazebo, and rose gardens is part of the Conservation park for visitors to enjoy.

Across the street from the park is a mix of historic buildings owned by the Conservation and some by private owners.
