Anything cool close to Floyd,Iowa? I have a family reunion in October. In case the reunion gets boring I want to know what's interesting in Iowa other than coonman 220.

Lots of places to look at the leaves and beautiful scenery in the Northeast part of the state.

Yellow River state forest and Pike's Peak are a couple good options.

You could always head a little west and check out Mason City. The Music Man Square is there, with things pertaining to Meredith Wilson. There are Frank Lloyd Wright buildings to see if you are in to that kind of thing. Go a little further west of Mason City and there is Clear Lake. You can check out the famous Surf Ballroom. North of CL is a marker where the Buddy Holly plane crash was.

Don't forget to check out Charles City too, since you will be close to that as well.

Maybe the Mason City Chamber of Commerce or Visitors Center has information that might interest you then. I know there are several buildings of his design in town. Good luck!

Fishing clear lake in October can be pretty good.

Thank you for the River tips, fishing, etc. Not interested in cow tipping. We have enough cows ourselves.

I wrote this book on fishing the rivers in Iowa back in the day, there is a lot of info in there that would still be pertinent for the rivers in that area.

I hear of some good trout fishing in the driftless area. I hope to go fly fishing there this coming November.

The 13th of October there will be a trapping get together in central Iowa. If you make it down we will feed you and we have some nice demos.

Looks like 1.5 hours south of Floyd.

Wolf Creek park Beaman IA will show on google maps if you want directions.
