Maquoketa

Must Do's
Plan your trip to Maquoketa to enjoy everything from antique and gift shopping, art galleries and local wine bars to live entertainment. Experience live music like never before at Codfish Hollow Barnstormers or catch a performance at the beautiful Ohnward Fine Arts Center. Complete your visit with an overnight stay at one of the area's historic bed-and-breakfast inns.

Outdoor Adventures & Exciting Eateries
Get your nature fix by exploring the unusual rock formations and natural bridges of Maquoketa Caves State Park. Or visit the nearby Hurstville Lime Kilns, which were established in 1871 and once provided 1,000 barrels of fine-grade lime per day. Hit the water with a rental canoe, kayak or tube from Maquoketa River Rental and paddle or float through lush valleys and limestone bluffs along the bends of the Maquoketa River, and explore the trail system by bike or foot! 

Refuel at local restaurants like Bluff Lake Catfish Farm and quench your thirst at Maquoketa Brewing.
