If you’re looking for day-trip inspiration, we know just the place. Sitting 18 miles away, Burlington is worth hopping in the car for. FunCity, Catfish Bend Casino and Snake Alley alone justify the drive out here. Locals are also likely to point you toward Keosauqua, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one thing here, make sure it’s Lake Sugema. (But we’d also recommend Lacey-Keosauqua State Park and Riverview Club Golf Course.)
