I really enjoy coming to this park both alone and with friends. The 3 mile trail loop is especially nice, covered by overhanging trees and along both the River and lake. The beach, pavilions, nature center, huge dog park and archery range are also highlights.

You will have fun on the Raccoon River no matter what, but form a plan on how th handle the raccoons, which form a battery organized to steal your picnic basket.
One strategy is to scare them off with loud noises and toxic insults. They are brash, but not really that courageous.
I recommend a different strategy. Go in with a white flag, dog biscuits and flattery. Word will quickly spread among the raccoons that you’re a good group, and they will take good care of you, leading your kids on river romps, and rolling on their bellies for belly rubs. Happiness is a warm raccoon!
A word about odor. Raccoons are a bit smelly, but very sensitive about it. So compliment them on their attractive smell, but then spritz them with some inexpensive body spray (most of them love Axe).

We have been here several times to just hang out or take a walk. It is peaceful here and views are great. Good place to take some pics as well. Dog park is very big and the dogs absolutely love it here. Come on by and drive through, walk through or stop and relax for awhile. Take a softball game or 2 if you like that as well. Have a picnic with friends or family. Take your company for an outing here.

Nice clean beach with clean swimming area. Also has ample parking and kids playground. The water is filtered through the sand from the river so is fairly clean. There is no noisy boats and lots of birds

The park has so many activities for everyone to enjoy. We annually have an extended family meal and get together at this park. You can reserve a shelter for $10 per hour and they are well maintained. You can swim in the river, kayak, fish or play on the extensive play equipment. There is a good walking/biking trail nearby. We always enjoy our visit.

Raccoon river park has something for most everyone. The lake and beach area are nice and not overly crowded. We often kayak on the lake, a quiet spot right next to the city. An archery range, dog park, playgrounds offer something for everyone. Finally, there is an excellent walking trail (about 2 miles) circling the lake.

Spent some time here by the water. Not the prettiest place to see, but it is quiet and close to nature.

Very huge park. You can bike,run or walk. I love the fact that there's a river n lots of tree. If you are a nature person you will love it here. Very calming to just go for self care

My pup and I like to spend our Sunday afternoons at Racoon River Park. There is plenty of walking area around the park, plus many side trails that are on the river. The park is well kept, the beach area clean, and there is always a lot of people around. There is a small dog and a large dog park with a mini swimming pool that you can fill up in the summer for them.

Great place to walk with your sweetie and your dog! Whether you live here or just visiting. Beach, fishing and birdwatching too.

Could a part of the park be rented for a wedding and a reception?

Yes. I have attended weddings and receptions at the park. They are held at or near the nature center. The nature center has a large room to facilitate weddings and receptions. You need to contact personnel at the nature center to obtain specifics such as availability, catering, outdoor access, etc.
