Iowa’s State Parks: Also Forests, Recreation Areas, and Preserves
“As I traveled throughout Iowa, gathering research for my earlier book, Fossils of Iowa, I frequently stopped at state parks along the way to break the monotony of driving. I soon became aware that Iowa has many beautiful parks where visitors can temporarily escape the problems of everyday life.” Note: Iowa's State parks is curently out of print but a new edition is being considered.
