This 26 acre park is an incredible work of nature. The old mill site and low head
dam on the Raccoon River on west edge of Redfield has been used by residents
of the surrounding area for nearly 150 years as a thriving business site and
recreation area.
In 1850, the first sawmill in the Redfield area was built at this site on the Raccoon
River and ten years later two grist stones were added to the mill. Throughout the
mill's operational history, from 1850 to the 1940s, the water powered mill served
as a sawmill, flour mill, feed mill, ice house and electric plant.
The Redfield Dam Park is a launching point for hundreds of canoeists, hikers,
birders and bicyclists.
The Raccoon River area below Redfield's low head dam has a reputation as one
of the best fishing spots in Dallas County.
Park your vehicle in the large parking lot on either side of the river, located right
off the Raccoon River Bike Trail
