Help raise funds

 Additional stalls are in the works. 

Would you like to help make this possible?



Friends of Shimek is raising funds to add 2 stalls to each of the three horse shelters in the Lick Creek Unit. We need $4,000 which combined with the $2,000 from a Lee County Charitable Fund grant would enable the DNR Crew to add two stalls to each of the three horse shelters this summer...six new stalls.. As of today, 7/10, we have received $1,100 in donations for the shelter expansion and another $500 for trail maintenance. We very much appreciate each person who has donated to-date.

CAN YOU HELP? Send a check made out to Friends of Shimek to Lee County Bank, c/o Debbie Miller, FOS Treasurer, 2501 Ave. L, Ft. Madison, IA 52627.

Use of the stalls is free for paid overnight campers on a first come-first served basis.

Being able to secure your horse/mule/donkey in a stall is a comforting feeling as you are sitting around the campfire visiting with friends or when you turn in for the night.  Each stall provides ample room for your animal to rest and relax.  The stalls also provide shelter from inclement weather, pesky flies, and the hot sun. 

Please consider the well being of your prize possession (horse/mule/donkey) if you would like to contribute for the construction of more stalls.

May the trails your ride be a blessing to you and others you encounter along the way!
