A major project is about to complete Phase IV that will connect the city of Lake Park with the entire Iowa Great Lake Trails system. The connection will comprise nearly 12 miles of new trail construction between the two communities.
When the entire development of the “rail-trail” is complete, it will span from just west of Superior to Orleans, to Spirit Lake, to Montgomery and finally to Lake Park in Dickinson County for a length of 23 miles. Osceola County will complete their portion of the trail that goes through Harris, Allendorf, Ocheyedan and then to the Ed Winkel Trail near Sibley for a total length of 43 miles.

Scouting out bulletproof whitetail setups: targeting areas where everything comes together

Anyone who bowhunts on a regular basis can relate to how important it is to find stand locations that feel almost bulletproof. Nothing is ever guaranteed in hunting, but I’m referring to those areas that put you within 30 yards of primary deer movement while not being detected by scent or sight before a deer presents itself.
These locations are sometimes few and far between, especially on landscapes where does and fawns can seemingly come from any direction. But these spots are often vital to success if you’re targeting an older buck on public or pressured private land.
