Iowa has a population of over 2,966,000 with it's largest city being Des Moines.
We are fortunate to have the State of Iowa designated River & Bluffs Scenic By-Way, as well as the Great River Road located in Clayton County, which both lead visitors through several of these communities. We invite you to explore our communities' Main Street retail stores, gift, and antique shops. From fine dining along the Turkey River or Mississippi River to more unique casual experiences, such as the Gunder-Burger or the World's Largest Tenderloin.
Our scenic bluffs and natural beauty combine to provide
unlimited recreational activities for visitors during all four seasons
of the year...from ice-fishing on the Mississippi in the winter, to
hiking trails highlighted by wildflowers in late spring, to canoe trips
on our rivers in summer, to the breathtaking fall-foliage of autumn.
The area park system features many breath-taking views of the scenic hills and bluffs. This undiscovered corner of Iowa offers the beauty of virgin prairies hidden in the sea of cornfields. In contrast the limestone bluffs stand in silence as they overlook the areas trout streams and rivers.
Tourist attractions include the Herbert Hoover birthplace and library near West Branch; the Amana Colonies; Fort Dodge Historical Museum, Fort, and Stockade; the Iowa State Fair at Des Moines in August; and the Effigy Mounds National Monument, a prehistoric Indian burial site at Marquette.
Fishing is great in Iowa, with so many rivers, lakes and streams to chose from the choices are unlimited. Do you remember your first fishing or boating trip? Ask anyone to tell the story of who first took them boating or fishing - chances are good the story is deeply personal and meaningful.
Over a dozen studies have shown that being with family and friends, relaxing and being outdoors and close to nature are the primary reasons people spend time on the water, and you can't do any better than fishing in Iowa.
Iowa also has some of the best bird and game hunting in the country. From ducks, geese and pheasant to deer hunting in Iowa is a tradition.
Hundreds of thousands of hunters each year take to the wild seeking a trophy and filling their freezer with meat for the winter.
Birding is the fastest-growing outdoor activity in America. In a recent study by the U.S. Department of the Interior, appreciation of birds ranks second behind gardening as America's favorite pastime.
Birds add a fascinating dimension to our surroundings with their color, liveliness, and music. Because they are wild creatures, they bring an element of nature into our lives.
Every year millions of Americans come to Iowa to watch and take pictures of the birds and wildlife in our wonderful state. Come and enjoy the great outdoors that Iowa has to offer.
