Coal Valley

Coal Valley occupies rolling farmland in Boone County, central Iowa. Fields, wooded stream corridors and small settlements define this quiet part of the state, west of the county seat of Boone. The Des Moines River is the county’s principal watercourse, shaping a broader landscape long associated with agriculture, railways and coal mining. Boone County’s railroad heritage remains visible through the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad, which operates excursions from nearby Boone. Coal Valley is a rural locality rather than an urban destination, well suited to exploring central Iowa’s slower rhythms.
