Come Join Us in Beautiful Union County

Creston and Union County are located in the beautiful rolling hillsides of southwest Iowa, 75 miles southwest of Des Moines and 100 miles southeast of Omaha. It is the perfect place to spend your next vacation or holiday. Our many “High Lakes” offer an array of outdoor recreational opportunities unmatched in SW Iowa. Over 2,100 acres of water, including five lakes and over 6,000 acres of publicly owned parks, woodlands, prairie and wetlands. All conveniently located within a 25 mile radius. Here you can also experience our railroad history or that of the Mormons who passed through on their way to Utah. Our paved Park to Park Trail of almost nine miles extends from McKinley Park in Creston through the campground at Green Valley State Park. Another six miles of grass surface trail, suitable for walking and mountain biking, continues from the trail at Green Valley campground around the lake.

Recently created murals in Uptown Creston and throughout the community have highlighted the artistic talent of many of our residents -both young and not so young. Please see below examples of several of the murals throughout Creston by clicking on the various links.
