Iowa is a beautiful place to be, especially in the summer months. Summer is a time to celebrate the cold winter we left behind and move forward to finding ways to cool off in the summer heat. Security State Bank is proud to be a part of the great state of Iowa, so we are bringing you the top five places to visit this summer in Iowa.
Top 5 places to visit this summer in Iowa:
Lake MacBride State Park– Located within an hour from most of our branches, Lake MacBride is a hidden gem in Iowa. Whether you’re looking for a great fishing spot or need a new place to take the family camping, Lake MacBride is the perfect location.
The Amana Colonies– Immerse yourself in a great piece of Iowa history at the Amana Colonies. Be sure to head to the area hungry because the German food options are endless. The area offers many little shops to cool off in and a museum to help you understand the history.
Backbone State Park– Pack a lunch and spend the afternoon hiking the trails of Backbone State Park. There’s a popular trout stream for fishing and canoe rentals are available if you’re an avid adventurous.
Downtown Iowa City– If you’re looking for an afternoon of fun shopping and culture, visit the Iowa City downtown district. Located within the University of Iowa campus, Iowa City is a great cultural getaway, especially in the month of June with all of the festivals happening.
