20 Reasons We Love Iowa
Uncover new surprises in the capital city of Des Moines and other reasons to explore the Hawkeye State.
Ledges State Park
A web of steep trails loops over the sandstone cliffs along Pease Creek as it winds through Ledges State Park. The campground is pleasant (and a few walk-in sites are very cool), but most visitors are day-trippers from Des Moines (40 miles southeast) who come to picnic, hike and wade along the Canyon Road. Parents: Pack extra clothes. The splashy spots where cars drive through the creek are kid magnets. (515) 432-1852; iowadnr.gov
