New listing
The West Overlook Campground is located within the Dam Complex at the Coralville Lake Project, on the west side of the Coralville Lake Dam. Coralville Lake provides boating, camping, hiking, mountain biking, lake and river fishing, swimming, water skiing, picnicking and hunting. Anglers will find large and smallmouth bass, crappie, walleye and catfish. Several trails are within the Dam Complex, including Squire Point, Woodpecker Trail, Tailwater Riverwalk and the barrier-free Veterans Trail. The Devonian Fossil Gorge is just below the dam, offering a unique opportunity to explore a 375-million-year old sea floor and discover fossil remains of sea life that once inhabited this tropical marine environment; twenty discovery points can be found throughout the site along with a cell phone audio tour. The Turkey Creek Disc Golf Course, also in the Dam Complex, offers nine partially wooded and open holes. The campground offers 89 standard electric campsites. Amenities include modern restroom and shower facilities, boat ramp, playgrounds, and horseshoes. The dump station and drinking water are located just outside the campground. The West Overlook Day Use Area offers a beach, picnic sites, picnic shelter, volleyball court, and playground. Coralville Lake is located in the Iowa River Valley, just north of Iowa City. The campground lies among a heavily wooded forest of mixed hardwood species on the west side of the dam. Wildlife is abundant throughout the project: whitetail deer, turkeys, pheasants, waterfowl, song birds and other species roam the lands around the lake. Iowa City and Coralville offer the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, the University of Iowa campus, hospital and clinics, numerous restaurants and shops as well as Coral Ridge Mall. Cedar Rapids has wonderful cultural, historic and ethnic attractions such as The National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library, and is the home of the Kernels Professional Baseball Club. West Branch boasts the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site and Presidential Library/Museum, and the Amana Colonies are seven quaint villages with outstanding restaurants, wineries, historic sites and specialty shops. Kalona is known as the "Quilt Capital of Iowa" and is home to an Old Order Amish and Mennonite Community.
