Creek Splashing at Jester Park - Granger, Iowa

 


Jester Park is a great place for creek splashing.  We like to park near Shelter 5 which has restrooms and from there's it's just a short hike to the creek at the bottom of the hill.  You can continue along the trail near the creek for 0.6 miles until you reach the stairs to the playscape (see the map below).

There's another great area for splashing by a bridge about halfway along the trail between signs 14 and 17.  We took the upper trail on the way back, which loops back around to the first creek splashing spot and takes you right back to Shelter 5.
