Start: Waukon

If you wish to sample the local drinks in Waukon, a suggestion would be to head to the Empty Nest Winery. If not, you can immediately head out towards Lansing. As you get closer to the town, you may want to stop by Mount Hosmer Park. You will know you are getting closer if you spot Blackhawk Bridge which has an eerie, isolated look when it is lit up at night.
As you loop around, you will pass alongside the Waterloo Creek Wildlife Management Area, the Fish Farms Mounds Wildlife Area, and the Lansing Wildlife Management Area. Much of the scenery you will encounter on this route will be large rolling hills and gorgeous vistas in pristine valleys.
