Paddle Your Way Down the Galena River
Last month on the blog, we spent some time talking about the fantastic trail that meanders along the edge of the Galena River, and which connects up with other major biking & walking trails in the Galena area.

Paddling the Galena River is one of our favorite activities of the summer, and makes for a truly unique and relaxing way to see the area. Rooms are booking up fast this summer. Book your room at our luxury Bed and Breakfast in downtown Galena, and don’t miss your chance to get on the water with us this summer! Continue reading

Recently, we had two different couples come to the Jail Hill Inn to celebrate a babymoon, before the impending arrival of their baby. They told us they were taking the time to “babymoon” before the baby arrives, and enjoying one final chance, at least for a while, to spend time just the two of them. We think that’s a spectacular idea, and Galena just so happens to be an easy-to-get-to and wonderfully romantic town to spend a few days in.
