Enjoy Cool, Crisp Water At What Was Once A Quarry In Iowa
Finding the perfect place to cool off in a city can be challenging – especially given how crowded those public pools can be! But in Iowa City, the town took a former quarry and transformed it into a little slice of nature in the middle of an urban metropolis. Welcome to the Terry Trueblood Recreation Area, Iowa City’s newest and largest park – and your path to crisp, cool water in the middle of a hot midwest summer.
When you step into the Terry Trueblood Recreation Area, say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the city and hello to relaxing in nature.
Then it's time to enjoy the water. Bring your own supplies or rent them from the recreation area - kayaking and swimming enthusiasts know this is one of the best spots around.
During winter, the Terry Trueblood Recreation Area is a very different but no less beautiful place. A dip in the water might be too much for most - but is a bracing experience for the daring.
