Cedar Bluffs Natural Area

 

 

This very unique 225 acre area contains a wide variety of deciduous trees, wildflowers, ferns and other plant life; made accessible by a carefully laid out loop trail. Lookout points along the 2 mile trail allow hikers an excellent view of the Des Moines River Valley. Towering sandstone bluffs can be found along Cedar Creek; which forms the north boundary of the property. An extensive stairway makes the descent to Cedar Creek easy and safe. Cedar Bluffs is located at 1235 - 280th , Oskaloosa, IA 52577. A parking lot is located in the southwest corner of the property, but other development is minimal; our primary goal is to preserve the natural splendor that has attracted generations of visitors to this extraordinary area.

Please note:  The bridge crossing on this park's hiking trail loop is currently not usable.
