Waukon is a fun little town with a lot of heart. The community is very supportive of its youth and anyone who is in a time of need. There have been countless instances of the community putting on fundraisers or bringing food to an individual or family going through a tough town. The city park is a beautiful place for a short walk or picnic, and the sidewalk network is expanding! In the surrounding area, there is a plethora of things to do, whether it be biking, hiking, fishing, attending concerts, or shopping. I love this small town and so will you!
Waukon is a small town of 5000 people population in the very northeast corner of Iowa. It is a 20-minute drive to Wisconsin and Minnesota. For the most part Waukon is a quiet town with a low crime rate. However, there is very little to do other than drink at one of the five bars in town. It also seems that there is a serious drug problem in Waukon. There have been many people in and out of jail due to drug use. I feel that if there were more job opportunities or even more things to do as hobbies the alcohol and drug use would decrease drastically.
Waukon is a nice sized town to live in. Everyone knows each other. Waukon has wonderful organizations that involve children, teenagers, adults, and elderly. The school system is equally great, given us a awesome start to our education. Great cozy town in Northeast Iowa that everyone should visit.
