Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 It's a great college and area we're there now to see the boys 1st football game. Live in the desert so this is great seeing trees going to hike through the woods to the falls tomorrow. Rafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Graybeard Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 While you are in Decorah...go see the state fish hatchery there. This one is a trout hatchery. Also check out McGregor and Marquette along the river Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sloe Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Rafe - what part of Iowa are you in? We're at Ledges State Park near Boone. I believe there are 2 or 3 clubs in central Iowa, one near Iowa City, and some near Moline. Not sure on the rest of the state. Edit - just googled Decorah. I see it's in northeast Iowa.

Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Turkeyfoot would probably be the closest Iowa club at 1.5 hr drive away. There might be a closer club in Wisconsin or Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe when Sailorville Lake is at extreme flood levels that the lower part of the park is closed. Camping is on the upper part, by the entrance. Great campgrounds.

watab kid Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 thats what i miss , the lower part was always the very best , i think what you call lower now was what i called upper back then , in the day it was a limestone gorge and beautiful beyond anything i could describe in words , that piece of road between ames and boone was brand new in the early 70s - had my triumph pegged one afternoon before it was officially open for traffic , but then we dont need to digress that far , both guys that were with me that day are now gone and a lot has happened in the following lifetimes , thanks for bringing it up tho , i enjoyed a lot of time in the ledges state park back then , great memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
