The corners of Iowa aren’t its most-known areas, and many Hawkeye State residents may have never even explored them. You’ll find tiny towns, near-empty parks – and occasionally, a stunning secret or two. That’s the case for the northwestern corner of Iowa, where the nearest town is tiny Larchwood. While the quiet town of under a thousand people might not advertise itself much, it’s actually a hidden gem – because it’s home to the unique Gitchie Manitou State Preserve, as well as a hidden resort in Iowa that is on the South Dakota border. Together, these two unlikely encounters make Larchwood a hidden gem – and make taking a pilgrimage to the very northwestern point of Iowa a bucket-list item for anyone who wants to fully explore Iowa.
