About This Access Site
The Stone City Access site offers a convenient public entry point to the Wapsipinicon River near Anamosa. This one-acre facility features a hard-surfaced boat ramp and parking lot, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. The site provides access to the scenic Wapsipinicon River valley and serves as one of several launch points along this popular paddling corridor in Jones County.
This access point is well-positioned for paddlers exploring the river's middle section. Stone City connects well with other nearby access sites, including Anamosa Boat Ramp (above the dam), Wapsipinicon State Park (below the dam), and several other public launches downstream. The improved ramp and parking amenities make it a reliable starting point for day trips or longer paddling adventures on the Wapsipinicon.
