Iowa Scenic Byways
Old O’Brien Glacial Trail
The Little Sioux River winds through hills of loess soil, passing historic log cabins and
productive 21st century farms. Whether splashing over Linn Grove Dam or cutting through
prairie and meadow, the river and its scenic valley offer a haven for wildlife and numerous
opportunities for outdoor recreation. Paddle a canoe along the Inkpaduta Canoe Trail,
named after the fearsome chief. Visit state or county parks for camping, fishing and
boating. And don’t miss a chance to explore local history museums for a glimpse into the
lives of those who settled this northwest Iowa territory.
Pick up the Old O’Brien Glacial Trail southeast of Spencer on Highway 10 near Peterson.
Follow the signs south on M36 to Linn Grove, west on C16, and north on M12 to Sutherland.
