Lake Manawa State Park Tours

A grassy lakeside area with a large tree, a dock, and a distant shoreline.
A lake with lotus flowers and a forest in the background.
Keep your eyes open for native plant and animal life while you hike the trails of Lake Manawa State Park. That's when you're not being distracted by the gorgeous landscapes!

This protected natural landscape in Council Bluffs is popular with fellow travelers, so leave a spot for it on your must-see list. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are plenty more spots waiting for you to discover after Lake Manawa State Park. Henry Doorly Zoo, CHI Health Center Omaha, and Harrah's Council Bluffs Casino are close by.
