If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine, it’s lethal.

Dorchester, IA:

Enjoy fishing at one of the most popular coldwater trout streams in the state of Iowa, Waterloo Creek. It offers exceptional angling for brook, rainbow and brown trout. The section of Waterloo Creek near Dorchester is not stocked, but fish caught here are often larger 14-inch brown trout swimming the bends and deep holes.

When you need a break from fishing, gaze at the limestone outcroppings and forested bluffs. Visitors enjoy eating at Wings Bar and Grill, Dorchester’s local, family-run restaurant, and home to the fantastic fried chicken. Take the time to visit the historic limestone St. Mary’s Catholic Church and the Dorchester Grotto. Lodging is provided at the Sportsman Motel, which also hosts eight campsites within a half mile of Waterloo Creek.

Must see & eat: Luna Valley Farm Pizza: Homegrown wood-fired pizza, local drinks and community in a tucked-away setting.
