Welcome to Clinton, Iowa

So many things to do - With a river view!

Clinton offers you many things to do with a river view. We have one of the most beautiful river fronts on the entire Mississippi River. Within a 65-acre park-like setting, you can play in our aquatic center, attend a Class 1A baseball game, enjoy a game of tennis, listen to a live performance in the band shell, attend a professional theater production aboard a renovated paddle wheel boat, camp in our R/V park, take a walk or run along the Discovery Recreational Trail, have a picnic and visit our historical museum. All of this and you haven't even hit the town yet! Located just 30 minutes from I-80 and 20 minutes from I-88, Clinton sits on the eastern most section of Iowa along the banks of the majestic Mississippi River. So visit Clinton, the city on the Mississippi River with so many things to do... with a river view! So, as luck would have it, I will actually have a cheering  section hootin' and hollerin' me in as I finish the last leg into  Clinton. My neighbor Jim and his daughter Katie will be  traveling to Clinton to visit Jim's uncle...just shortly before I  get there myself. I did not know that JIm himself hailed from  Iowa but then with recent conversation frequently including  this bike ride I am about to do it is interesting just how  many people are from Iowa or have relatives there. When I tried to find someone...anyone....famous from  Clinton, the 'list' was worse than those I have previously blogged about. So, in place of it, I will make a "friends who hail from Iowa" list...check back as it is sure to grow. friend & neighbor Jim  promises to ride ragbrai next year Kandis And last but certainly not least, my friend and your headliner on Sept 22 Jake Johannsen p.s. if you still need tickets to see Jake & Keb' Mo' go to http://www.shakingwithlaughter.org/
