McGregor

McGregor is a small town along the Mississippi River. It has been a picturesque community surrounded by beautiful natural surroundings since its founding in 1847. McGregor references are frequently combined with Marquette, another small-town neighbor to the north. Even without all of the amazing eye candy that Marquette brings to the table, McGregor provides incredible outdoor experiences on its own. To begin, a little background on this town: McGregor has a population of only 850 people. However, they receive far more visitors than that. They come to enjoy the charming downtown and the restaurants. When visiting this small Iowa town, Cafe McGregor is always a safe bet. In addition to access to this treasured Iowa landscape, the town offers excellent community flavor.

The nearby Pikes Peak State Park is the best place to visit from McGregor to enjoy the Mississippi's big bluffs and wide banks. Over 10 miles of trails wind through the woodland landscape at this popular natural retreat. The path leading to Point Ann provides the best view of the river. People come to McGregor for the great outdoors. But it's the lively community and cozy downtown district that keeps them coming back for more. McGregor's downtown area is lined with a variety of local shops and restaurants. On summer weekends, there are often large crowds on the sidewalks.
