Pilot Knob State Park

This castle-like tower provides a breathtaking scenic view of the Iowa countryside, perched on the second highest elevation in Iowa.

View of Dead Man's Lake, not sure why it's named that...don't really want to know.

Rustic picnic shelter in September, many hiking trails are nearby and wind for miles in the woods.

View from the top of the scenic outlook tower, second highest elevation in Iowa.
