Wilson Island State Recreation Area is a 544-acre (220 ha) state recreation area in Harrison County, Iowa, United States, near the city of Missouri Valley. The park, which is named for Iowa governor George A. Wilson, encompasses a forested area along the Missouri River.
The recreation area includes a boat ramp and fishing sites along the river. Fish living in the river include catfish, paddlefish, and walleye. The park is also open to hunting outside of developed areas, with deer and bird hunting being the most popular.
