Elevation-starved Iowans love Backbone Trail, a rocky ridge high above Backbone Lake with a string of knee-knocking overlooks. The trail alone is worth a visit, but Backbone State Park is actually a nice all-around park (55 miles northwest of Dubuque), with canoe rentals, a popular trout stream and a handful of pleasant cabins.
