Fayette

Fayette lies in the Volga River Valley surrounded by forested hills. Enjoy the Volga River State Recreation area, located three miles north of town. The area includes Frog Hollow Lake, a 138-acre lake with bluegill, crappie, largemouth bass and channel catfish. Sail boating and canoeing are very popular on this lake.

The Volga River that runs through this stretch provides a beautiful kayak and canoe trip, and holds smallmouth bass, rock bass and channel catfish. Visitors also enjoy hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing on the 22 miles of multi-use trails through the recreation area. Albany and Lakeview campgrounds offer over 85 sites for both equestrian and non-equestrian camping.

In Fayette, enjoy over four miles of paved and gravel trails connecting the town to Volga River State Recreation area. Other recreational activities in town include a disc golf course and the Big Country Golf and Country Club. Downtown also holds many tantalizing restaurant options such as the new Pavo Blue Coffee Shop & Gift Store, owned and operated by the Upper Iowa University, DT’s Pub and Shiners Bar and Grill.
