Climate

Greater Dubuque's scenic bluffs and natural beauty combine to provide unlimited recreational activities for visitors throughout all four seasons of the year.

In the winter, you and your family can enjoy skiing, snowmobiling and ice-fishing on the Mississippi. Our 35 miles of trails are graced by exquisite wildflowers in late spring to the delight of hikers and bikers. During the summer, you can enjoy boating and water-skiing on the Mississippi. Our breathtaking autumns with the golds and reds of fall-foliage are unequalled as you hike through the Mines of Spain. In Dubuque, visitors enjoy year-round opportunities to embrace the beauty of nature!
