Iowa State Parks

Iowa’s state parks offer a quiet escape into the heart of the Midwest. From the rugged beauty of Backbone, Iowa’s first state park, to the stunning Mississippi River views at Pikes Peak, there’s something special about each one. You can wander through Maquoketa Caves’ limestone passages, relax by the glacial lakes at Gull Point, or explore the peaceful trails of Ledges. Whether it’s fishing, camping, or just soaking in the scenery, Iowa’s parks remind you to pause and enjoy the simple, natural beauty of the state.
