Iowa Vacation attractions that shouldn’t be

March 4th, 2008

Some of the Iowa vacation attractions are pretty special and some aren’t. I grew up next to one that was named Goose Lake. It was misnamed, it should have been called Goose Swamp as the deepest water in the lake was eight inches. There was always a feud between the hunters and fishermen in the area as to what the lake was good for. The fishermen wanted to raise the lake level to improve the fishing and the hunters wanted to keep it low for the ducks in the fall. The level was controlled by the number of boards stacked up against the drainage tile.
