Take some time to investigate the unique masonry work of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), including dams on the Maquoketa River forming Backbone Lake, a cluster of rustic family cabins, beach building and boat house, an auditorium, bridges, roads, picnic shelters, restrooms and trails. If you enjoy bicycling, boating, camping, climbing, fishing, hiking, picnicking or if you want to take a walk back in time to the days of the Civilian Conservation Corps, this is the place for you. Backbone is named for the steep and narrow ridge of bedrock cut by a loop of the Maquoketa River and forming the highest point in northeast Iowa - the Devil's Backbone. Backbone consists of 2,001 acres and is heavily wooded with a variety of tree species, predominantly oak and maple. It was Iowa's first state park and remains one of the most geologically unique. I had emailed them a list of questions and they promptly responded.Backbone State Park was dedicated in 1920. This was our first trip to HMT and now we have a new standard to live up to in lodging.

THANK YOU!! Overall we loved the place and can't wait to stay again. My husband left his wireless ear buds here and they mailed them back to us. We noticed as more people stayed the next night, at other cabins, it did slow down slightly.

I would like to see a small shelf of board games or cards or checkers etc. We had a 2 bedroom cabin You need to bring a pitcher, if you want to make Koolaid or lemonade. I don't know how comfortable the pull out bed was as we did not use it. And a broom to sweep up the mud tracked in. I liked that there was a boot brush on the porch. But I understand when you are trying to get your winter gear on, you don't wanna sink into the couch and also come back covered in mud, you need somewhere to strip down and sit on. Extra blankets, pillows stored under the bed in a plastic zippered bag? No extra pillows or blankets found The couch was stiff.

The heaters take a little time to warm up, but do the job and are quiet! Possibly a small laminated card of how to adjust the climate/use remote. Small cons, BUT not enough to keep us away, as we will be back! And maybe because I want them to do good, suggestions? Need hairdryers! Could use a light above the bathroom sink, a little dark to apply makeup. So either eat while you are out and about, or make your own food. Be aware as of this date there was very limited, close, local food to eat. The porch of the cabin would be amazing to hang out on in good weather. I loved the squishy floor mat in the bathroom. I'm sure you can log into your own channels too. Be aware that if you have comcast you cannot get your roku channels there as you are on their wifi, and you have to be logged into your comcast Wi-Fi to get your own roku. The cabin had wine glasses, plates, sharp knives, coffee pot, toaster, some bigger serving dishes for like burgers. The HMT trail 59 was right there up a steep hill, but when he saw my face of concern, he said, or you could go around the corner and it is less steep and connects at the top, so we did that. They sell basic snacks and HMT shirts/sweatshirts/stickers in the check in. They had ice next to the check in, we saw afterwards. Drew maps and favorite locations on standard map. The man and woman owners were very, very helpful. Beautiful view in the am of the mountains. The cabin was immaculate, as they are all new. There was a picnic table outside each cabin. Be aware of the roaming dogs on the main road outside the property. If you don't get it, call before the evening.
