US Army Corp of Engineers Park, Iowa City, IA

Mike and I love it when we can find a COE park because they are always on water and our last stop at Coralville Lake was no exception.  A big beautiful lake, wildlife and trails all right where we were parked.  As with some of the other COE parks we have visited, we would like to go back again someday.  Coralville Lake also had The Devonian Fossil Gorge within walking distance of our campground and that was fun to explore!

While in the area we also took the  opportunity to visit the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site and spent a good half day visiting the museum, grounds and library of our 31st president, always interesting!
