Review:

Fondly nicknamed Spamtown USA because of its long-standing connection to the famous meat product, Austin is a welcoming Midwestern city located on the Cedar River. The best-known attraction in town is the Spam museum, which tells the story of how Spam came to be and the role it has played in American culture, but the area is known for its natural beauty as well.

There is an excellent network of cycling trails in the city, and the Jay C. Hormel Nature Center boasts more than 10 miles of trails. During the summer, visitors can also take a paddleboat ride across the city's East Side Lake.
