Buckskin Hills Wildlife Management Area
Two miles west and two miles south of town on a county road, Buckskin Hills Wildlife Management Area has 340-acres of prairie and woods, with a 75-acre lake. Wildlife includes pheasant, quail, rabbit and waterfowl. The lake has bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass and walleye. Motorboats are limited to 5 mph. Primitive camping is allowed.

Ionia Volcano
"In 1804, Lewis and Clark discovered a large bluff that was hot to the touch and appeared to have been on fire. Long known as the Ionia Volcano, the shale bluff has since eroded into the Missouri River. Years later it was determined that heat came from the oxidation of the shale, not an actual volcano. To find the bluff, go three miles west of town on Highway 12 to a historical marker. A gravel road leads to Volcano Hill.

Mulberry Bend
"Mulberrry Bend is part of the Missouri National Recreational River, a unit of the National Park System. The overlook, near the Newcastle-Vermillion Bridge on Highway 15, offers a spectacular view of the Missouri River. Handicapped accessible for a good portion, the paved walk to various lookouts is moderately strenuous, but well worth it. Interpretive panels tell local stories."
