Backbone State Park, south of Strawberry Point, has been recognized among the Top 50 Mom-Approved Places to Fish and Boat, according to the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF).
A nationwide survey of thousands of moms revealed the list of favorite fishing spots in each state that have everything a family needs to experience the great outdoors – play areas and family-friendly amenities, picnic areas, safe water and boat access and of course, plenty of fish to catch.
Vote today (www.takemefishing.org/momapproved/) for Iowa to win a place on the Top 10 Mom-Approved Places to Fish and Boat in the Nation list. You can vote daily through June 29. Each vote is entered for a chance to win a family fishing/boating trip in Florida.
