Northeast

The Mississippi River wraps around Iowa's Northeast corner. Your travels in this scenic country may lead to prehistoric burial sites at Effigy Mounds National Monument, to the Devil's Backbone at Iowa's oldest state park, and to old Fort Atkinson Preserve. You'll also want to make time for Waterloo's Science Museum and Decorah's Vesterheim Norwegian Immigrant Museum.

When you go East, you'll be able to: explore deep caves and historic Civil War graves; see what inspired Grant Wood and Mark Twain; catch trout in cold-water streams and baseballs at the Field of Dreams . Destinations range from Mississippi riverboat casinos in the Quad Cities and San Francisco-like Dubuque to Dyersville's National Farm Toy Museum.
