Welcome to Beautiful Lake Sugema

Located approximately 2 miles southwest of Keosauqua, IA you will find one of the premier fishing lakes in Iowa. The 574 acre lake has been stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, channel catfish and saugeye. Extensive planning was done by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to establish underwater structure that helps fish survive and reproduce.

The area immediately surrounding the lake, about 3,000 acres, has been purchased by the DNR and Van Buren County to be managed as a wildlife area. That management is helping to build on the already large numbers of wild turkey, deer, squirrel, geese, quail, rabbits, songbirds, and other wild animals. Habitat is also being improved for raccoon, fox, mink, muskrats, and bald eagles, among other wildlife.

The lake has been designed as a high quality fishing lake. Facilities include parking lots, boat ramps, fishing jetties, a fishing pier for the handicapped, floating boat docks, and wildlife islands.

Whether it's fishing, hunting, trapping, hiking, bird watching, cross country skiing, picnicking, camping, or just getting into the outdoors, Lake Sugema was planned to help you enjoy the outdoors. Yes, building lots are available!
