Things to Do in Clinton, Iowa

Iowa had a way of meeting me where I was. Not with flash or fanfare, but with quiet moments that felt real—fields rolling past like pages, sunrises that asked you to pause, and towns that still believed in slowing down. I remember thinking, “There’s something honest about this place—and something healing in that.”


What stayed with me were the small things: a slice of pie served with pride, a historic main street where shopkeepers asked where I was headed next, a riverwalk where I stood still longer than I planned. I left Iowa not with a list of must-sees, but with a sense of calm I didn’t expect.


Need Help Planning?


Whether you’re looking for scenic byways, small-town gems, outdoor trails, or places where the simple things shine brightest, these guides reflect the parts of Iowa that moved me most. If you’re craving something slower, quieter, and full of heart—Iowa offers all of that and more.
