Located centrally between Des Moines and Omaha on U.S. Highway 71 and close to Interstate 80, Audubon residents and visitors alike “Live Large” with year-round activities including art, museums, youth activities, and sports. Stay active with golf, disc golf, trap shoot, figure 8 and mud races, and ride, run, or walk the 21-mile, hard surfaced T-Bone Trail.
