Iowa whitewater - Boone River, unknown County

Park and Play section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I(II)     0.5 miles
  The wonderful unknown County scenery and the cool fresh water attract people from near and far. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Iowa are easier than the national norm, so don't forget that many of the sections here are safe for beginners. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. There are no other stretches to paddle along Boone River than the Park and Play stretch. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. There are nice comfortable hotels here, but
    do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This section of Boone River is 0.5 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class I(II) section of whitewater. A bit of exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you
coming back for more. If you're coming from Boone it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page.
