Lake Delhi – Turtle Creek Recreation Area

2124 267th Street, Delhi Iowa 52223

A wonderful place quietly tucked away in Eastern Iowa, is Lake Delhi. Fed by the Maquoketa River, with 9 miles of lake twisting and turning its way
through beautifully wooded bluffs and wildlife sanctuaries, Lake Delhi offers a wide variety of recreational and leisure activities for kids and adults alike.

Visitors to Lake Delhi have several wonderful public access points to the lake in addition to the many other spots to look out and view all the beauty and activity. Turtle Creek Park offers camping as well as multiple boat ramps with trailer parking, beach, restrooms, and temporary docking.
Bailey’s Ford Park at the north end also features camping, pavilion areas, and access to Lake Delhi for small water craft.

At the south end of the lake is the world class Dam and award-winning Labyrinth Spillway that was recently built. At the dam site there are spectacular views of the lake and dam/spillway, as well as the visitor site where the Wall of Recognition and Lake Delhi history displays are being created. If you are a kayaker or canoer, there is portage at the dam to continue your journey downstream from Lake Delhi down the Maquoketa River.

If you like Fishing, Lake Delhi is well known to be a fantastic fishing spot for both recreational and experiencing anglers. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has a comprehensive and ongoing fish stocking program at Lake Delhi that assures tremendous fishing for years to come.
