Күн бұрынDedicated in 1920 as Iowa’s first state park, Backbone State Park is one of the most geographically unique locations in Iowa. The steep and narrow ridge of bedrock from the Maquoketa River forms the highest point in northeast Iowa - The Devil’s Backbone - giving the park its legendary name. Take a walk through history by checking out the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) museum, explore the rugged 21-mile multi-use trail system or fish in some of Iowa’s best trout streams. Whether you’re an adrenaline seeker or just wanting to get outdoors for the day, Backbone State Park has something for everyone.

I grew up on a farm a few miles down the road from Backbone and spent a lot of my youth in that park. Our Starmont High School cross country team used to run through the park for practice and the actual meets were ran over the golf course. My brother Dennis Gaffney is currently the groundskeeper for the golf course. You can find my and my first wife's initials carved in one of the posts of the shelter closest to Richman Springs. The auditorium is used for a big music festival every year, I believe Bluegrass. The park and the buildings actually get used for many activities throughout the year. So many memories of Backbone.
