Switzer Lake is delightful enough to spend more than a day at, Husemanns RV Park and Campgrounds is a delightful local campground, and since you're here, you could also go to pretty Frentress Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Camping at Dubuque Yacht Basin and RV Park is always a delightful experience. Sundown Mountain is a fine local ski area, and Holiday Inn DUBUQUE/GALENA is a brilliant place to get some rest. So many enjoyable things to do here at Switzer

Downtown is a great choice, and Round Lake is a nearby lake that you could stop by. Switzer Lake is a good spot of common rain; August is when you get the most rain here, and the driest month is January.
This lake is so wonderful.
You have to undeniably pop by Horseshoe Bluff while you're here at Switzer Lake, and there's whitewater on Little Platte River for all you adrenaline rush seekers. Catfish Creek is a pretty stream that is worth visiting, and you're sure to stumble upon some smiling people from Dubuque here.

Little Platte River
| 15 miles away
We were two stupid college kids using makeshift paddles and $10 rubber rafts trying to go from Old Lancaster road to County D. I have been canoeing lots on lakes and I would say it would be very difficult to make much progress on this stream. There are a lot of small rapids with low rocks. There were parts that were only a few inches deep. We were lucky a lot because our rubber rafts only sit a few inches into the water, but I would think a canoe or kayak might cause problems. Also watch out for a barb wire stretching across about .5 above county D. If you don't mind carrying your canoe a lot, this stream is fairly gentle. There are some pretty rock walls too. I would not recommend this stream in the dry season though.... |
Leisure Lake

Leisure Lake just received a bunch of rainfall recently and the lake is really full. It is still a couple feet down from what it use to be but now is a good time to go there and look how full the lake can actually get. Also Labor Day weekend at Leisure Lake is very fun because it draws tons of people there. There will also be a DJ there Labor Day weekend so if your interested stop on out....Leisure Lake is still an awesome place in 2009!!...Leisure Lake is a beautiful place to hang out on weekends and drive around to get the great view of the lake. The lake has a bar located when coming into Leisure from the highway. Woody lives at the lake and many people that go to bars know him and he is my uncle and a really good guy. If your ever at the lake look around for Woody and get to know him.... |
Chestnut Mountain

I learned to ski at Chestnut Mountain, it's really good to go and learn at a local place like this before you go to the Rockies, so you don't waste time on the bunny slope over there.... |
