About This Access Site
Highway 141 River Access is a convenient put-in/take-out point on the Middle Raccoon River in northwest Guthrie County near Coon Rapids. This access is part of the Raccoon River East Greenway and sits along Route A of the Middle Raccoon River Water Trail, making it a well-established stop for paddlers and boaters. The site is positioned strategically between other access points—3.2 miles downstream from the 2nd Middle Raccoon River Access and 5.3 miles upstream from Lenon Mill Park Access.

This location works well for day trips or as part of longer paddling routes through the Raccoon River system. Paddlers should note that about 6 miles downstream is the Perry Boat Ramp at Highway 141 bridge, offering another convenient take-out option. The access supports kayakers, canoeists, and boaters of varying experience levels as part of the broader water trail system. The site is within the Raccoon River East Greenway, an area designed to benefit paddlers, anglers, and nature enthusiasts.
