On the river

River mile 257.7 on Cedar 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.

  • Rapids, under 0.1 mi downstream: Spring Park Beauty Dam (rock dam), 3 ft. · Iowa DNR River Programs constructed rapids
  • Low-head dam, 5.3 mi upstream: Mitchell Mill Dam (low-head), 20 ft. Marked portage route: 518 ft, natural. · 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.
