Ambrose A. Call State Park is a 138 acre “oasis” of rugged hills heavily wooded with virgin timber in an area of gently rolling farmland. The park is located near the east fork of the Des Moines River.
The park offers 16 camp sites. Of these, 13 include electric hookups. A modern vault restroom is located in the campground. Camping permits are obtained by self-registration.
The rugged and heavily wooded park offers two miles of trails that wind through the forest, down a ravine, and along a picturesque winding creek. Many species of shrubs, flowers and trees can be found at A.A. Call. A cross-country ski trail is available in the winter. A log cabin-style lodge built in 1928 provides an excellent setting for such group activities as wedding receptions, family reunions, and community get-togethers.
