Iowa’s Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway™

Parks and Recreational Opportunities Abound:

After over a century there is still plenty of adventure to be found along The Lincoln Highway. Established in 1913, the Lincoln Highway became the first coast-to-coast improved highway, from Times Square to San Francisco. The Lincoln Highway transformed automobile travel in the United States, creating a once cumbersome means of travel into one of adventure and leisure.

Iowa’s Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway™ traverses thirteen Iowa counties, from the Mississippi River at Clinton to the Missouri River in Council Bluffs. Towns advocated to have the Highway pass through their town centers bringing tourism, recreation, and economic growth to their area. On these main streets, signage marks the original highway route; many of the roads are still heavily traveled today while others loop onto more scenic unpaved roads.

For the early travelers on the Lincoln Highway, there were no lavish hotels or five star dining establishments. Travel became a new way to reconnect with nature and the newfound adventure around them. Many stayed in small roadside motels while others pitched tents and chose to camp outdoors, cooking their meals over an open fire.

In this information guide, we have compiled a few recreational opportunities, and places to unwind and camp along the Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway™. Where will your sense of adventure take you next?

This brochure is a compilation of the research done when preparing the Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway Corridor Management Plan. We have added some privately-owned recreational facilities to the list, as those looking for adventure do not limit themselves to non-profits and publically-owned facilities. Please share your adventures with us on our Facebook page as you explore the vibrant Lincoln Highway!

Lincoln Highway History

Carl Fisher, who created the Indianapolis 500, was the idea man behind the Lincoln Highway. His vision for a “Coast-to-Coast Rock Highway,” running from Times Square to San Francisco, would, in his words, “stimulate as nothing else could the building of enduring highways everywhere that will not only be a credit to the American people but that will also mean much to American agriculture and American commerce.”

Fisher and Henry B. Joy, the President of the Packard Car Company, and other auto enthusiasts and industry officials created the Lincoln Highway Association and laid out the most direct route using existing roads, dirt roads, and wagon trails. In Iowa, the route stretches from the Mississippi River at Clinton to the Missouri River in Council Bluffs. Towns along the way were honored to be designated a Lincoln Highway community and soon gas stations, repairs shops, restaurants, motels, and tourist camps developed to accommodate the traveler.

The Association felt local people should improve their own roads and to encourage this, a “seedling mile” was paved in each state. The Association felt, “One permanent mile established and built under proper specifications will lead to further connecting miles of the same standard.” In Iowa, the Seedling Mile was paved in 1918-1919 just outside of Cedar Rapids, between Mount Vernon and Marion. By 1928, the entire Iowa section was paved when Cedar County, the last county, was completed.

Early travelers, when approaching a steep hill, would turn around and ascend the hill in reverse as fuel pumps did not exist yet and gas would not flow to the engine if going forward. Iowa had several of these challenging hills in the early years.

The road was named as a memorial prior to the building of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. as a tribute to Abraham Lincoln, whom both Fisher and Joy admired.

Over the years, as roads were improved and new bridges built, the route has changed alignments. Today the Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway™ signage directs the traveler on much of the original sections, but some loops are still graveled.
