If you're looking to have some food or drinks out on a patio by the water this summer, there are quite a few places here in Iowa that you can check out! Whether you're traveling over to Arnolds Park and Lake Okoboji, or just looking to take a little day trip somewhere in Eastern Iowa on the Mississippi River, you have options.

With the help of Google Maps, Facebook, Only in Your StateTravel Iowa, and Travel Dubuque, I put together a list of 15 different restaurants and bars here in the state of Iowa that are located right on a river or lake. Hopefully you'll be able to check out a couple of them this summer!
