Prairie Lakes Park, Cedar Falls IA

I like this park a lot and it has some nice scenery. Unfortunately, for a cyclist like me, there are a few downsides. First, it is impossible to read the gauge on the bike tire air pump due to the weathering and sun damage. Secondly, some of the path has a pot holes and root damage, not a lot but right where the cyclists need to ride.

Love Prairie Lakes! Trails are great, the flowers and tall grass are pretty and the lakes are gorgeous. Multiple spots for parking as well!

Its sooo relaxing, quiet, peaceful and great for a park to do meditation and great park to walk around the lake its gorgeous view to the lake

Wonderful lake in front off Viking and surprise a huge one nestled in the beautiful foliage. Bike pump station available.

Great suburban park on the South side of Cedar Falls near the industrial park with paved trails looping around the bigger of the two Prairie Lakes, and along two sides of the smaller lake. Many benches along the paved trails provide opportunity to take a break from walking, running, riding, skiing etc, or just to watch the nature and enjoy the peaceful lakes. Many fishermen utilize both lakes to cast their lines in the warmer months and ice fishing in the winter. Kayakers can often be seen on the larger lake as well. Four workout stations dot the perimeter of the larger lake along the paved trails to offer opportunities to do some body weight exercises. Sign boards are posted to help provide ideas for exercises. There is a dock on each end of the larger lake, and the Southern one has a nearby covered picnic shelter with a paved offshoot from the main paved trails for easy access (by foot or bike, the parking lot is on the other side of the lake). The paved trails also connect to the rest of the greater Cedar Valley paved trails system for easy access.

There's fish there but there's too many weeds really hard to fish need some grass carp

Although the park itself was clean and enjoyable, the restrooms leave much to be desired! There is no roof or doors for privacy and no where to wash or sanitize your hands. There were a lot of neat things within the park and a great little walking trail with a few geocaches along the way. The restrooms were the only negative I had about this park.

It's a decent small town lake. It looks man made to me but is frequented daily so there must be a good amount of fish stocked every year. I spent the morning trying for crappie and bass but didn't have any luck. The group next to me caught a couple average size bass. I'll come again in the future!

Very nice park.there is a paved path that is 2 miles long around the lake.very safe and nicely maintained.

I love the walking trailbat Prairie Lakes.just enough of a challenge with fantastic scenery!

Boy Scout Troop 500 from Cedar Falls used their normal meeting time to pick up garbage in honor of Earth Day, April 22nd.

Love taking my dog here for walks! Its two miles from start to finish so its prefect! Beautiful views also.

Beautiful trails to walk/bike/run around, four different adult fitness jungle gyms, and some very nice views. I don't fish, but there looks to be some good spots for fishing as well.

This lake used to be beautiful, but the main entrance is so over grown that it is easily missed.

Beautiful place to walk, run, bike, or sit. Very family friendly too! Paved walkways with benches along the way!

A very good place to go fishing with kids or grand kids and has a well stocked pond with crapy /bluegills u might get lucky and even land a trout
