Although Humboldt County is one of the flattest
and most productive agricultural counties
in the state of Iowa, someone found a hill
and its wonderful.
Cut out of a wooded bluff along
the beautiful
east fork of the Des Moines River
is Silver
Creek Ski and Recreation Area.
In addition to snow skiing from, November
through March, the facility has a restaurant,
canoeing, horseshoes and sandpit volleyball
courts.
Denton Myers built the ski slopes on his
farm in 1958.
As the years went by the facilities have
been improved. There are 12 ski runs with
two T-bar lifts. Lights allow for night skiing
and snow making equipment means skiing can
be done with or without Mother Nature's cooperation.
Up-to-date rental equipment and a ski repair
shop are located at the facility. Ski patrol
is on duty and lessons are offered regularly.
The facility is located on a hard surfaced
road three miles east of Humboldt and one
mile north of Highway 3, at 2101 Penn Avenue
.
