Easter Lake Park is built on an old coal mine. The park has something for everyone: there is a 4 mile biking and walking trail that encircles the lake, picnic areas and a docks that allows visitors to fish for walleye, bass and catfish.

The park is also home to Owens Covered Bridge, which is the only covered bridge in Polk County.
