Whiterock Conservancy is a 5,500-acre, nonprofit land trust dedicated to providing educational and recreational opportunities for the public, improving and protecting the land through conservation, and demonstrating sustainable farming methods.

Explore over 40+ miles of hiking, running, mountain biking, and equestrian that meander through prairie, oak savanna, wetland and river valley; set up camp in our RV or tent camping areas; or enjoy the comforts of home in one of our vacation rentals. Enjoy the countryside and wildlife, and some of the darkest skies in Iowa for stargazing. Visit the Historic Garst Farmstead to learn about agricultural history or check out one of our multiple fishing ponds. We have fishing equipment, mountain bikes and kayaks/canoes (river level and weather permitting) for rent. Free Historic Garst Farmhouse Tours are available on the 1st Saturday of the month.

The nearby town of Coon Rapids also offers a handful of activities such as a 9-hole golf course, golf simulator, bowling alley, aquatic center, parks & playgrounds, sports fields, local shopping, a sculpture park, grocery store, restaurants, paved trails, and a coffee shop.
