Highest Point in Iowa - Hawkeye Point

Funny little excuse to stretch your legs! There's an assortment of antique farm equipment on display, and a stand to position your phone for selfies. The platform around three silos will increase your elevation even more!

The campground across the street has restrooms.

It's 1,670 feet above sea level, lofty for Iowa. The high point is on an old farm property now owned by the county, and the spot is well marked with a flagpole and the mosaic tile marker.
