Conditions

On the river

River mile 99.1 on Shell Rock River · Iowa DNR River Programs mile markers on paddling routes, placed between its mile markers

River hazards

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.

  • Low-head dam, 4.7 mi downstream: Northwood Dam (low-head), 1.5 ft. · Iowa DNR River Programs dam hazards

Up to 10 river miles each way, from the agencies' inventories; not every hazard is listed and rivers change. Scout before you go.
