Was too cold and windy we did not get to spend much time. Observation deck offered great views. Would be nice for a warmer day.

With fabulous views of the Mississippi River, and enough walking paths to allow for a fun afternoon of hiking, this place is a treasure. For those more interested in a picnic lunch than a hike in the woods, Pikes Peak State Park is set up for that, too. Stop for a brief time, or relax for an hour. It's totally... More

If you're near the Prairie du Chien area, Pikes Peak State Park is a must see! The view of the Mississippi is absolutely stunning. Take lots of pictures up here!

If you are in Northeast Iowa you have to stop at this park! It will take your breathe away. Any pictures you take will be sure to be on your Christmas card.

This state park is located along the Mississippi River and affords gorgeous overlooks. There were several boardwalk style hiking trails to a variety of features like Bridal veil Falls ( just a little trickle in the fall), Indian mounds. Camping and picnicking sites are available.
