The Iowa DNR is in the early planning stages of a major overhaul to improve park roads, upgrade the campground, fix the lake’s water outlet structure and eliminate the gizzard shad population at Lake Ahquabi State Park and Lake Ahquabi. According to the Iowa DNR, the road system will be upgraded to better handle today’s recreational vehicles and while the plan has not been finalized everything is on the table for upgrades including the campground, lodge and shelter renovation, the beach, fish cleaning station, and parking lots. The project is not scheduled to begin until the fall of 2021.
