Welcome to Benton County!

Explore the Great Outdoors with Benton County Conservation!

Welcome to Benton County Conservation! We invite you to explore over 1,700 

 acres of prairie, wetlands, woodlands, trails, and park lands.

 

 


The Benton County Conservation Board (BCCB) has been working on preserving 

Iowa’s future since 1956. Benton County was one of the first sixteen counties in 

Iowa where the citizens voted to adopt a County Conservation Board. Benton 

County developed Hannen Lake, the first man-made lake by a county conservation 

department. Since the 1950’s the BCCB has gained 20 properties totaling over 

1,700 acres which they maintain.  

 

Benton County Conservation campgrounds are open the weekend of April 15th to the weekend of October 31st. 


Our Mission: Benton County Conservation strives to improve the quality of 

life for our citizens by providing recreational and educational opportunities 

that foster stewardship of our natural resources.
