Trails surround the water and wander through the meadow and wood.

Over one more hill and you've entered not just a new valley, but a new frame of mind. Where Canadian geese are the greatest noise, and leaving is the greatest concern. Your heart remains here.

This is one big piece of nature.

Vistas clear the mind, offer hope, and spur imagination. Every point of view leads you over hills and towards the water. Trees frame images that make you believe that this is the most compelling view..again.

A road less traveled there could not be. Lake Cimarron is a private abode of nature, hills, and water. Your trek is the answer to: are we there yet?"

Over the hills of Iowa farmland, and into the next valley is Lake Cimarron. This is a different experience. And once you've arrived, you know you are some place special. Apart from the rest of your day, you discover the rest of your lifetime.
