The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF) announced last week that Backbone State Park is currently ranked 6th in their Top 10 Mom-Approved Places to Fish and Boat sweepstakes.

Backbone, Iowa's oldest state park, is located three miles south of Strawberry Point. Dedicated in 1919, the 2,001-acre park is named for a narrow and steep ridge of bedrock carved by a loop of the Maquoketa River originally known as the Devil's Backbone.

Vote today (https://www.takemefishing.org/momapproved/) to make Backbone State Park a Top 10 U.S. destination.

RBFF has extended voting to July 20. You can vote daily. Each vote is entered for a chance to win a family fishing/boating trip in Florida.
