Devonian Fossil Gorge
2850 Prairie Du Chien Rd NE, Iowa City, Iowa, 52240
Visitors find this spot a cool, low-key place to hunt for fossils and enjoy nature. While some folks feel it is a bit small or lacking in maintenance, most families love the hands-on learning experience. It is a great spot for a quick outdoor adventure without needing a full day of hiking. The lack of a functioning visitor center is a bummer for some, but the fossils themselves are the real star. It is a solid, free spot to get the kids outside.
