Ep. 272: Wapsipinicon River | Iowa camping hiking kayaking
The Wapsipinicon, known locally as the Wapsi, is a roughly 300-mile tributary of the Mississippi River that drains the rural farming region of rolling hills and bluffs north of Waterloo and Cedar Rapids, Iowa. In this episode of Grand Adventure we're camping on the riverbank in Pinicon Ridge Park, a 966-acre Linn County recreation area that includes not only some of the nicest county park camping that we've found, but also American Elk, an observation tower, watercraft rentals, fabulous hiking and more. Come along and explore with us!

We've tried it, we've tested it, and we can heartily recommend it. No random stuff or paid product placements.

ABOUT US
Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, always filmed in stunning 4K.
We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah during the winter months, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and dog Zoe are avid boondockers, so while you'll occasionally find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. We've now transitioned from "long-timing" for six months a year, to living and traveling in our RV full-time.
We'll provide beautiful travel videos, as well as some tips and insight on trip planning, and equipping and maintaining your RV to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!
