Little Paint Creek

Stocked by Big Springs Camping
Easy Access State Forest Public Land Available

This stream is part of the Yellow River State Forest. It is much smaller than Paint Creek and is stocked during the entire season due to its cool water temperature, a requirement that trout need.

The Yellow River State Forest occupies 7889 acres of beautiful northeastern Iowa countryside. With over 175 non-electric campsites, there is plenty of room for scheduling a trout fishing trip. Bridle and hiking trails, snowmobiling and cross country skiing trails make this a perfect place to visit any time of year. Hunting opportunities include squirrel, deer, grouse, turkey, woodcock, and waterfowl.
