Directions Narrative. Honey Creek Resort State Park is a major vacation destination at Rathbun Lake in South East Iowa in a remote rural location. For GPS devices, log in: Resort Dr, Moravia, IA 52571.
From Des Moines Airport you first head south on Fleur Drive till you reach the junction with IA 5 South. Drive south on IA 5 South, follow this road southeast for about an hour passing Carlisle to Knoxville. The last Knoxville exit south, which is the continuation of IA 5 south towards Albia. The road will become a single lane road for most of the rest of the drive. (Once you are in Albia, you need to take a quick tour around the central town square around the county court house. You'll see a fully restored Iowa county seat town square known for ‘Operation Facelift’.)
Leave Albia following IA-5-south for another 10 miles and you'll see two water towers. The left tower marks Moravia, the right is for Rathbun Lake area. At the intersection leading to the Rathbun Lake water tower you turn right onto Co Rd J18. Signs also indicate Honey Creek Resort State Park. Drive past the water tower untill you reach the entrance to the Honey Creek Resort State Park after about 4 miles on your left. (The actual State Park of the same name is a few miles further down the road.)
Once past the gate drive past the Golf Course (watch the speed limits and the golf carts) until a windmill indicates the actual lodge. It is ahead of you. Park and check-in. We will start the prairie walk from the lobby at 4pm. Dinner will be at 5.30pm at the lodge.
