Both lakes at Banner Lakes are stocked with trout and are also home to bluegill, channel catfish, crappie, and largemouth bass. Each lake has its own boat ramp. The park is also popular with bicyclists, as it contains a 2-mile (3.2 km) paved loop trail that links with the longer Summerset Trail and six mountain bike courses. It also includes several hiking trails. The Banner Shooting Range, which is also run by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, is adjacent to the park.[1][2]
