The Galena river is extraordinarily beautiful, and paddling down its gentle waters introduces you to the geological beauty of this area in an entirely new way. 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.

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.
