Iowa has a reputation for being a farmer’s state, full of rolling cornfields and rows of soybeans. Those of us who live here know that it’s so much more than that, and all it takes is one visit to Lake MacBride State Park to prove it to anyone.
Lake MacBride is one of Iowa’s most beautiful state parks, and any nature lover would have a great time wandering through the park for a day.
