Hawkeye Point is a natural elevation in Osceola County that rises roughly 20 feet above the surrounding agricultural fields of northern Iowa. The location features a grain bin shelter, an observation silo, and informational displays for visitors.

The Sterler family owned the land until 2007, when Osceola County purchased five acres to secure permanent public access. This acquisition made Iowa's highest point accessible to all visitors.

Over the years, visitors have left license plates from their home states, which are displayed at the information kiosk. This tradition has turned the location into a personal gathering place where nearly every state is represented.

The location sits in flat farmland and is straightforward to reach, with parking available near the elevation. For those who wish to stay overnight, twelve camping spots with electrical and water connections are available.

Directional markers at the summit show the distance and direction to each of the other 49 state high points across the country. These markers create an unexpected connection between this location and the highest points throughout the nation.
