Yes, this is the same Zebulon Pike after whom was named the more famous Pikes Peak in Colorado, but this is the original! From the top of the 500-foot bluff, the confluence of the Wisconsin River and the mighty Mississippi is seen to the south. To the north, the view of the bridges connecting Iowa and Wisconsin is breathtaking. Pikes Peak State park is located in the Paleozoic Plateau” that was missed by the glaciers that flattened and molded so much of Iowa. Pikes Peal State park is hiker's delight. Located 45 minutes south of Ferryville.
