Spanning 5,500 acres in Iowa, the Whiterock Conservancy is one of the Hawkeye State’s best unspoiled landscapes. Boasting opportunities for recreation, sightseeing, and family bonding, it’s a worthwhile excursion – but its remote location may deter some potential visitors. However, the preserve’s best-kept secret is that it’s not just a nature adventure – it’s also one of the state’s best places to stay the night. Their old-fashioned log cabin in the woods is a must-visit destination.
