Volga Iowa State Recreation Area – This one of the parks we ride regularly because it is a little over 60 miles from home. The camp is located just a few miles from Fayette, IA at N42o 51.880 – W91o 45.480. The camping is “primitive” but roomy. The rangers are friendly and we are wondering how the budget cuts will impact the trails. A new trail, Depot was added in 2003. As with most of the Iowa trails they are dirt so they are a problem when wet. The trails are wide and groomed. They are ideal for the inexperienced rider or for those who want to tune-up their gated horses. There are some beautiful views along the trails. There is a nice combination of open prairie and wooded trails. There just aren’t enough of them for more than a day or two of riding. We usually mix up the way we ride them in order to introduce variety.
