This is a beautiful timbered meadow Spot that's just a little ways out in the Iowa countryside but it's worth the drive. It's 13+ acres with easy access for the pet owners to drive into the area or walk along the trails. We have mowed trails throughout the clover meadows so it's easy walking. You'll enjoy the open clover meadows and huge oak trees for shaded areas. There is a secluded spot that's mowed and level with a picnic table,a fire pit and park benches, so you can have a nice private picnic down in the timbered meadow when you can book enough time to really enjoy the experience. There is a nice clean pond for your dogs to wade or swim in. With more shade around the pond. Your dogs will enjoy the dog and hiking trails around the pond and throughout the fenced meadows.
