Fishing at the Big Sioux Recreation Area

The Big Sioux Recreation Area is 270 acre area containing 90 acres of surface water was added to the Sioux County Conservation Management plan in 2009.  There are many habitats that can be found here from the prairie, forest and wetland. Located on the south west edge of Hawarden it is an easy jaunt to visit.  During bird migration season this area can supply hours of birdwatching from the many eagles viewed to many other waterfowl looking for a place to rest.

A list of fishing license fees are available on the Iowa Department of Natural Resources website.
