Swede Point Access

Swede Point Access provides a challenging hiking trail down to the Des Moines River in a 128-acre park featuring prairie, streams, and oak-hickory woodlands.

The park offers camping facilities (14 electric sites and 10 tent sites), modern restrooms, picnic areas, and two hiking trails, with the river access located just a short but steep hike into the deep valley.

Open April 15–October 15, the park is located west of Madrid off Highway 210, within two miles of the High Trestle Trail.
