Comments on: Why Visit Soldier, Iowa? Five Reasons http://shannonehlers.com/2008/05/28/why-visit-soldier-iowa-five-reasons/ the midnight blogger Sun, 23 Oct 2011 19:17:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: adminuser http://shannonehlers.com/2008/05/28/why-visit-soldier-iowa-five-reasons/comment-page-1/#comment-1750 adminuser Wed, 29 Jul 2009 23:13:21 +0000 http://shannonehlers.com/?p=79#comment-1750 Oldham Recreation Area is actually a county-run park just outside of town and although there is a phone number, I think it is for the people who work as caretakers - not sure if that job is even filled. At any rate, if you just want to enjoy a picnic, there is no reservation necessary - the park is open until dark. If you want to camp, I think you can self-register once you get there. There are open-air shelter houses with picnic tables. There is also a large dam for fishing and a sandy beach for swimming, complete with an anchored floating platform for diving and sunning yourself. Hope you have a good time.
