Northeast Iowa is dominated by The Mississippi River and its tributaries, carving spectacular bluffs and picturesque river valleys that feature hardwood forests of hickory, elm, and oak. The landscape is filled with “postcard quality” landscapes of unique farms and quiet rural communities. Despite a century and a half of development, these river corridors still provide many natural areas where deer, wild turkeys, Hawks, and bald eagles may be spotted.

This terrain includes some of Northeast Iowa’s most scenic parks and recreation areas and some of the most interesting lodging establishment as well. They include:

Bellevue: Potter’s Mill

Decorah: Dug Road Inn

Elkader: Barn on the Bluff and  Cedar Street Suites

Fredericksburg: FarmHouse B&B & Winery
