About Lake Wapello State Park
A man-made lake, Wapello, forms the center of this park, which sits west of the town of Drakesville. The surrounding land is built around that body of water rather than any other natural feature named in park records. Visitors can expect the lake itself to be the primary feature defining the landscape here.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
