Class I Des Moines River, IA/MN
Des Moines River Water Trail (Fort Dodge to Redwing Area Access)
The Lower Des Moines River flows
through lowland forests and along some
of Southeast Iowa’s interesting historic
towns and structures. You may feel
like you are moving through time while
viewing ancient geology and archaeology
evident in the layers of rock outcrops.
Large sycamore and cottonwood trees
of the lush forest add to the atmosphere
of timelessness. Fish and explore
from a boat, or get out on sandbars
and adjacent public lands. (Source: Iowa DNR)
