Whether you’re into land and river activities or prefer adventuring on land, you’ll be sure to find them at Iowa’s Volga River State Recreation Area. There are two main picnic areas in the park, one by the lake and the other by the equestrian campground. The recreation area has become extremely popular for their array of trail activities; you can use these to enjoy hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing. In the winter some of the trails are also groomed for snowmobiling. The rugged beauty of the Volga River makes it the perfect base for camping; there are a few rustic, non-modern campsites and 43 modern campsites with electricity, full hookups, and shower/ restroom facilities.
