Trails and amenities at Crystal Cove Park

Crystal Cove Park has about 1.5 miles of trails, looping around the lake, but that's far from the only thing to do at Crystal Cove! Some other features visitiors love at Crystal Cove include:


  • Disc Golf course: my family has played the first 9 holes, but it got too buggy for us, so we bailed before the second nine. Bring bug spray if you want to stay a while! The South Sioux City Parks & Rec Department has a Crystal Cove Disc Golf Course map on their website.
  • Picnic shelters: There are several, including a unique one right by the lake
  • Play structure: Perfect for kids to climb on!

Crystal Cove Lake

The 33-acre lake at Crystal Cove is small but scenic and is a great place for fishing or boating. There is a fishing dock (which was being used as the launch point for some really cool remote-control seaplanes the last time I visited Crystal Cove!) as well as a boat launch. Kayaking, paddleboarding, and other paddling fun are popular at Crystal Cove. And the lake is stocked three times a year, so you're sure to have something good to catch, including largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, and pike.
