Benton County Conservation & Parks

ABOUT US

The Board and Staff of Benton County Conservation welcomes you to our beautiful county, located in East Central Iowa, and hopes your stay is enjoyable and pleasant. Our quiet and serene natural areas, hiking and river trials, and campgrounds offer outstanding recreational opportunities for local, regional and national visitors.

The Benton County Conservation Board (BCCB) also provides conservation assistance, environmental education and naturalist services, and can suggest the perfect campground or natural areas for you to explore. BCCB is proud to be the home to one of Iowa’s first county parks, Hannen Park, (south of US 30, near Blairstown) and to manage over 1,355 acres of natural areas, preserves, river access sites and boat launches, and 17 parks.
