Bald eagles, white-tailed deer, songbirds and other wildlife are prevalent in the area. Rathbun is a flood protection lake managed by the Army Corps of Engineers.
Recreation facilities include boat ramps, campgrounds, picnic areas and playgrounds. The Corps has a Visitors Center that provides information about Rathbun Lake’s natural resources.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages both Honey Creek Resort and the original 850-acre Honey Creek State Park. In the future, the DNR plans to link the two parks, which are separated by a cove, with a pedestrian bridge. Honey Creek State Park offers camping, camping cabins, heated shower facility, trails and a boat ramp.

All and all the stay was almost perfect. Our daughter rented a cabin across the way that was dog friendly. A few small inconveniences need to be address by the property owner, lightbulb on the microwave to the stove is out, downstairs toilet runs frequently, reclining chair is broken and does not lock up after foot rest is extended. However all of these were small and did not interrupt our vacation weekend. Lovely cabin.

There are several rental cabins available in varying sizes. This is close to the state park, a local bar/restaurant, and easy access to the lake. The cabins are clean and easy to rent. We enjoyed the outdoor fire place. I would recommend to anyone looking to stay at Lake Rathbun to book one of these cabins.
