wandering among the fields. With some of the largest turkeys caught and many of

destination where you can enjoy a summer getaway. Among the popular summer
activities is canoeing and tubing the Des Moines, Iowa and Winnebago rivers. In

great for fishing walleye, channel catfish and northern pike. In Iowa Clear
Lake, Brushy Creek Lake, Lake Red Rock and Lake Rathbun in Central Iowa are
