7 reasons to visit Honey Creek Resort State Park this spring | Iowa DNREnjoy a close-to-home getaway for a wonderful meal or an outdoor spring break adventure. Honey Creek Resort State Park has seven exciting reasons to visit this March and April:

One way we stay green is by using the sun! The sun heats the hot water used by the 105-guest rooms in the lodge. A 400,000 BTU solar thermal hot water system also helps heat the indoor water park. Check out the many green initiatives in and around the resort while visiting.
