Backbone State Park is another beautiful park in Iowa, complete with a castle. There are beautiful maples and Aspens and Oaks. It's a large park that you can drive through or hike the trails, lots of camping. It's very beautiful with rivers and creeks. Spectacular in fall. I photographed an eagle.

This park is always an incredible spot to take pictures! Great get away. It's usually pretty quiet with low traffic. I would highly suggest this place for wildlife photography, hiking or nature lovers.

Great Campground with 30/50 electric at each site and water hydrants spread through out the campground. Hiking trails and great fishing in Backbone Lake by the dam and in the crystal clear trout stream that originates and runs through the park. Quiet and relaxing with plenty of wildlife to see.
