Here at OnlyInYourState, we love a good hike. There’s something special about being able to get out in nature, take in the open air, and enjoy the solitude – that is, unless you’re in a line a mile long filled with fellow hikers! The best hikes in Iowa are truly marvelous, but the secret is out about many of them. That’s why it’s so great to find a hike that isn’t as well-known, like the Dozer Cut and Fox Run Ridge Trail at the Hitchcock Nature Area – the best hike in Honey Creek, Iowa. This 1.8-mile out-and-back trail is considered an easy route and takes less than an hour to complete, but it’s an amazing spot for birdwatching and taking in the area’s natural beauty. So come along with us for this charming, laid-back adventure in the Loess Hills.
