Adair County, IA Curfew Laws: Park Curfew (2026)

These are the Adair County Conservation Board's published park rules, and they apply only inside the county's parks and recreation areas. They are not a county-wide curfew for roads, towns or private land. The Conservation Board's rule page opens by saying the parks are provided and maintained for visitors' enjoyment and asks users to follow the basic rules listed.

The core rule is that parks are open 24 hours. There is no closing time at the gate. What the county does set is a quiet period: quiet hours run from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. The same list sets a 25 mph speed limit unless a different speed is posted, and requires vehicles to park in designated areas and stay on the roadways.

Swimming has a fixed window. It is permitted at Mormon Trail Beach only, and the beach is open from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. The beach is unsupervised, the Conservation Board (ACCB) assumes no liability for death or injury to any person swimming in any area, and no glass bottles, jars or containers are permitted on the beach.

Camping is the other time-limited use. It is permitted for properly-registered campers and in designated areas only, with a limit of 14 consecutive nights. The page ends by noting that a complete list of rules is posted at each park, so the signs on site carry any further detail.

The page also makes it unlawful to destroy, deface or injure plant life, buildings or other facilities, and bars weapons, fireworks and dangerous substances.
