Guthrie County parks are a great outdoor asset for people to enjoy this summer.

Guthrie County Conservation Director Joe Hanner tells Raccoon Valley Radio attendance at county parks is on track to a record breaking year.

“We really have a beautiful county with many great natural resources and our position close to Dallas County and West Des Moines makes us a prime destination for vacation and people looking to get away on short trips.”

Guthrie County parks feature opportunities for camping, hiking and access to the Raccoon Valley River Water Trail.
