    A little bit about our area:

    The Loess Hills are a unique geographical formation that are composed of fine ground wind blown silt from glacier deposits. As the glaciers melted, the Missouri Valley flooded with enormous amounts of water. Each winter, the waters froze, and large areas of sediments were left exposed to the wind and blew to the East and deposited in the dune like hills, you will see.
    Preparation Canyon offers a lake for kayaking and public fishing. The Overlook on the north edge provides an amazing view as well as hike. This is also a great picnic spot.
    The Loess Hills Scenic Byways are 200 miles of paved highway where you can see wildlife, prairie plants and hills.
    Lewis and Clark State Park is located at Blue Lake, west on Onawa. A great place for boating or learning a little bit of history.

    Towels and bedding and plates/ glasses/ silverware is provided. Please bring food and supplies for your stay. Grocery store in Onawa 12 miles away or a small gas station is located in town.
