♪♪ [Kohlsdorf] Travelers can find their next big adventure just a few miles down the Lincoln Highway.

Welcome to Seven Oaks Recreation.

♪♪ [Kohlsdorf] Seven Oaks is known as one of the best ski resorts in Iowa.

But the excitement during the summer months -- revolves around the guided canoeing -- kayaking and tubing tours down the Des Moines River.

[Joel Bryan] I think the vision has just always been to offer a family friendly, affordable, outdoor recreation opportunity.

We've really always known our bread and butter is going to be the ski season, skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing.

We got into canoeing and kayaking several years ago and then brought river tubing on.

And the Des Moines River is a great place for that.

♪♪ [Joel Bryan] You're literally going to be in the Des Moines River Valley with just beautiful scenery with trees and bluffs.

And so, it truly is unique to Central Iowa.

You get that real outdoors feel.

♪♪ [Joel Bryan] We try to make sure that it is easy for a person to learn the sports of what we offer.

There's so much to do right here on the Lincoln Highway that it doesn't have to be just be a day trip.

You can make it a full weekend or a full week in this area pretty easy and do something every day.

It takes us all to constantly tell people Boone County is cool so come on out!
