On the river
River mile 81.7 on Maquoketa River · Iowa DNR River Programs mile markers on paddling routes, placed between its mile markers
Low-head dams drown people every year: the current below the drop circles back and holds a swimmer or a boat at the face. Portage around them; stay well clear above and below.
