ESCAPE to Guttenberg!! Leave your cares behind as you head to Historic Guttenberg, a perfect place for a change of pace.
Encounter the breathtaking beauty of the rugged hills and streams as you approach from any direction.
The river and valley is incredibly beautiful with sheer cliffs giving way to tree studded emerald islands. Guttenberg is the home of U.S. Lock and Dam #10, built in 1934 where you can watch the barges and boats lock through from the elevated viewing platform.

Stop at Ballroom and take a step back in time.
STROLL our beautiful 2-mile long river front park where you can pause for a picnic or just enjoy watching the river or search for our soaring Bald Eagles.
BOATING from our public docks, as well as fishing from the banks of the Mississippi, public floats, your own boat or through the ice can provide some relaxation and challenge to catch the “Big One”.
