About

Okamanpedan State Park is a compact recreation area located on the shores of Tuttle Lake in Emmet County, Iowa, just south of the Minnesota border near Dolliver. The park does not offer traditional tent or RV camping; instead, it provides two shelters available for rental: the Beach House and Trappers Cabin, which can accommodate up to 40 people for group gatherings. The park's primary draw is its fishing access. Anglers can pursue walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, white bass, and various panfish in Tuttle Lake and the adjacent East Fork Des Moines River. A shady lakeside picnic area and an open shelter (available first-come-first-served) round out the day-use amenities. Okamanpedan is managed remotely by Gull Point State Park in Milford. The facilities are seasonal, typically operating from May through September. This is a quiet, low-key park best suited for day fishing trips or group shelter rentals rather than overnight camping adventures.
