Whether you're into fly fishing, hiking, or just love the great outdoors, this trip through the Driftless is one you won’t want to miss!
**What is the Iowa Driftless Region?**
The Iowa Driftless Region is a special part of the state, known for its rugged hills, deep valleys, and pristine cold water streams. Unlike much of the Midwest, this area was untouched by glacial ice during the last Ice Age, giving it a distinct, unglaciated landscape that's perfect for outdoor activities like fly fishing and hiking.
