Kinnick-Feller Riverside Park in Adel offers a convenient boat ramp access point on the North Raccoon River. This 23-acre community park provides a well-developed launch facility along with extensive amenities, making it a practical stop for paddlers and boaters. The site includes restrooms, water access, picnic tables, shelters, and parking. The area downstream from this access point features calmer water conditions, making it suitable for recreational paddling and floating trips.
The ramp is located along North 9th Street and serves as a popular take-out point for paddlers coming from upstream sections of the North Raccoon River. Paddlers typically encounter the calmer, more manageable portions of the river in this area. The park's full suite of facilities—including multiple sports fields, playground equipment, and group picnic amenities—makes it suitable for families and larger paddling groups needing to organize trips or spend time before and after time on the water.
