Felland Park is a well-maintained public access point on the Red Cedar River in Colfax, offering a scenic and convenient launch for kayakers, canoeists, and small boats. Located 1.3 miles downstream from Tom Prince Landing, this 10.97-acre park provides better amenities and surroundings than the upstream alternative. The access area is practical and easy to use, making it suitable for paddlers of varying experience levels.
The park includes two picnic pavilions, a playground, and fishing areas in addition to river access, making it a good spot for families or group outings. Paddlers launching here can explore the Red Cedar River or plan multi-day trips by combining with upstream or downstream access points. The next major access downstream is at Highway 25 near Downsville. Before launching, check current river conditions and water levels, as these can significantly affect paddling difficulty and safety.
