Fort Dodge, Iowa, Homebase for Outdoor Adventures
Happy Trails Hiking • January 3, 2022
Hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking, and even OHV-ing is what I found when I visited Fort Dodge, Iowa on a FAM trip with Midwest Travel Network.
This trip was 3 full days of outdoor activities! Any outdoor enthusiast will never get bored in this Midwest area. Even though this was a sponsored trip, all opinions in this article are held only by Happy Trails Hiking.
We started our first evening at the Fort Dodge Grain Silo Mural. This 360-degree mural was created by international artist, Guido Van Helten. It shows local residents "who are part of the industrial and cultural fabric of the community." It was certainly a neat start to our visit to Fort Dodge. Read more here.
Our small group only tipped the iceberg during our short visit, but as one of our travelers happily said, “I could live here.”
You might be surprised by all of the active outdoor adventures that are waiting for you in Fort Dodge, Iowa. If you like being active in the great outdoors, you will love this part of Iowa.
Looking for the best of Fort Dodge: restaurants, lodging, adventure and more? From rich history to good food to outdoor adventures, you'll find something for the whole family in Fort Dodge, Iowa.
There's nothing like a road trip when you can enjoy tasty food and experience art.

We've been visiting Fort Dodge, Iowa for a couple years now and we know how many great places there are to explore, so we thought it was only right to put together a Passport for you to follow to make the most out of your visit!
Nestled between the Des Moines River and a little park (Loomis Park) sits an old abandoned concrete silo - turned into a rural masterpiece on the outer edges of Fort Dodge, Iowa.
If you are looking for a solo or family getaway full of outdoor adventures, Fort Dodge is the place to visit!
You’ll be surprised at the great finds in Fort Dodge Iowa!
Spring IS getting closer, and we only have mere days left of winter and Iowa is telling us that it’s prepared to hold on to the cold streak for a little while longer. Don’t let that get you down, because when the road are clear you can still get out enjoy yourself and show that Frost guy that he’s not getting the best of you. It’s time to bring you the second half of our recent trip to Fort Dodge!
