YMCA
The Y is a community-service organization which promotes positive values through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. When you’re a member of the Y, you are part of a non-profit organization with three areas of focus: Youth Development, because young people need caring adults to provide support, guidance and encouragement as they grow. Healthy Living, because wellness in spirit, mind and body strengthens our very being and enhances our interactions with others. Social Responsibility, because we truly are in this together and together we can harness our individual strengths and bring about positive change around us. The hours change during the summer.

Pilot Knob State Park was dedicated in 1924 and has drawn many visitors to explore its hidden treasures and historical structures. Camping, fishing, hiking, and bird watching are just a few of the activities Pilot Knob provides.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed several structures in 1934. The entrance portals, stone shelter, three stone bridges, amphitheater and observation tower are all listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The amphitheater will seat 1,000 and is a beautiful area where many couples choose to have their weddings. The observation tower is the second highest point in Iowa at 1,450 feet above sea level. It is 30 feet tall and was supposed to be 40 feet tall but winter set in and the CCC had to stop construction. Pilot Knob is listed in the Iowa Wildlife Viewing Guide. The park is a wonderful area for bird watching, particularly during migrations. Deer and turkeys are prevalent and readily seen. Turkeys were reintroduced into the area in 1979 and have flourished. Much of the wildlife can be seen while walking the thirteen and miles of trail through the park.Bear Creek Golf Course
