Pleasant Lake

Lake of Fairfield, Iowa

Named one of "America’s Best Small Towns" by Smithsonian Magazine, Fairfield, Iowa is a wonderful place to call home.

Within a six-square-mile radius, it packs unique restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, salons, and cultural establishments. It also includes the Jefferson County Health Center.

It is just an hour northwest of Burlington, home of Great River Medical Center and Southwest Iowa Regional Airport.

Serene Waters and Beautiful Views

Pleasant Lake was rightfully named; the tranquil waters and sounds of wildlife will lull you into a peaceful state of mind.

It holds a variety of Iowa’s game fish and can keep an angler busy all day long. The waters welcome kayakers, canoers, and swimmers.

Bonnifield Lake is located just below Pleasant Lake. Waterworks Park features a lake beach and pavilion.
