Prairie Queen Recreation Area - Park in La Vista - , USA

The four mile loop at Prairie Queen is perfect for making a material down payment on a 10,000 step goal. The path is relatively flat and wide, but lacks shade, so be prepared for that. Google Maps provided us with guidance to the boat slip, but Apple took us into a neighborhood which was odd. This recreation area is bounded by 132nd street, highway 370, a neighborhood, and a light industrial area, so there is a fair amount of commotion all around and probably due to all of this urban proximity, quite a few people fishing and boating already.

A very pleasant little suburban park with a charming little pond. Some noise from nearby roadways disrupts things a little, but still a good spot for walking or fishing.

Nice picnic shelter. Plenty of parking. Nice walking trail. I have not walked around the entire loop. There are restrooms. Great for bird watching.

I like this park when it's cooler because there is no shade and you get the full benefit of the sunshine. In the summer, this would be a drawback. Is an easy 4 miles around with very little elevation change. The restrooms are open year round unlike some dam sites. No deer or turkey here, but plenty of geese. They've recently installed a small exercise area with outdoor equipment. You can do sit-ups, pull-ups, chest presses, and step-ups.

We enjoy bringing our children here for fishing and walks to see nature. You can count on seeing a Blue Heron when you're at Prairie Queen. Beautiful area.

Beautiful trail and lake for your outdoor needs

Love walking the trail at this lake. Absolutely wonderful!

Nice area for walking, running, biking, fishing, working out, picnicking. Trail is 6' wide and paved. Not many hills, none are steep. Can walk about 5 miles around all or shorter distances. Nice job of snow removal so trail could be used.
