More information about Driftless Safari:

Driftless Safari is a long-term scavenger hunt that covers all of Winneshiek County and runs from Earth Day until Halloween. The program is free and open to anyone that loves to explore and wants to experience some of the special places of Winneshiek County. The program’s guidebook features locations across the county that highlight some of our most unique natural, historical, and cultural places. Once at a site, participants follow clues in the guidebook to find a wooden post affixed with a special tile, and then use that tile to make a crayon rubbing in their guidebook as proof of their visit. Every guidebook page provides information about the site and offers ideas for fun activities to do while there. Pick up a free guidebook at any Winneshiek County Public Library.
