Hawkeye Football

We love visiting Iowa City during Hawkeye Football season for the contagious energy and atmosphere.  The city is filled with loyal Iowa Fans tailgating in black & gold.  The Iowa Hawkeye spirit not only fills Iowa City, but the entire Eastern Iowa area.

Canoeing/Riverfloating down the Maquoketa River

This is a great opportunity to relax and enjoy the Iowa scenery along the Maquoketa River near Monticello.  The trip takes nearly half the day to travel, and then you have a chance to camp and enjoy the Iowa outdoors.

Amana Colonies

Visits to the Amana Colonies, 17 miles southwest of Cedar Rapids on Hwy 151, for the great food and festivities are always enjoyable.  There are a number of different festivities that are held year round.  Amana also offers the local Millstream Brewery and many local wineries.

61 Drive-In Movie Theater

Not just your ordinary movie setting, the 61 Drive-In, located five miles south of Maquoketa

of Hwy 61, is a great way to get outside and enjoy something unique.  This is a great activity for couples, groups and kids.

Sundown Mountain

As the closest destination for Iowa skiing, Sundown Mountain, 16991 Asbury Rd, outside Dubuque, offers hills for all levels.  A quick day trip is a great get-a-way over the weekend in the winter months.
