Come to the Amana Colonies for a four hour paddle trip on the Iowa River! Hop in the river with your kayak or canoe in South Amana and paddle down the river to Homestead. This event is self-guided and doesn’t have a specific start time. We suggest getting on the river around 10:00 am and packing a picnic lunch to enjoy on one of the many sandbars along the way.

From 9:00 am – 11:00 am, the Visitors Center will run a free shuttle between the South Amana and Homestead.

Learn more about the event and get shuttle and canoe rental information here.
