Fall Hiking at Margo Frankel Woods - Des Moines, Iowa

 


We enjoyed a 2 mile hike at Margo Frankel Woods this afternoon.  The fall colors were beautiful and it was nice seeing so many families out enjoying the park today.

PARKING - The gate to the main parking lot is locked seasonally from approximately November to March.  The second gate is only open if the back shelter is reserved.  

PLAYGROUNDS - The park has two playgrounds.  You'll see the first playground when you enter the park.  The second is reached by walking on the road past the second gate, or hiking up the stairs which you'll see along the hiking trail.  

RESTROOMS - There are vault restrooms near both playgrounds.
