The waterfall area is so amazing! If you veer off the trail a little (there will be a dirt path) then you will see it. You can walk through the big river and just goof around. Can't reccomend enough!!!
Winterset Nature Area - Parks

A very good farmers market for such a little town! They have everything from fruits and veggies to homemade crafty items.

This is the best museum I’ve ever been to! They have everything. Including trails with sculptures along the way! One of my favorite interactive things there is the glass maze… lots of silly memories from that 😂
They take amazing care of their animals! I also highly recommend the aquarium portion as well. It’s breathtaking!

Great community center! They have a pool, tons of workout equipment, a gym, a track, ext. And their gym fee is fairly cheap compared to others in the area
