Three Mile Wildlife Area

Three Mile Wildlife Area provides boat access to Threemile Creek in Afton, Union County, offering a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters exploring the area. The access site is situated within a larger wildlife management area that supports diverse recreational activities including fishing, hunting, and wildlife observation. This location is ideal for paddlers looking to explore creek habitats and experience the natural setting of southeast Iowa.

Before launching, check current water conditions, as water levels can fluctuate seasonally and may impact navigation on smaller creeks.

Be prepared for variable creek conditions typical of Iowa waterways, and always wear appropriate safety gear. Contact local wildlife management authorities or visit the area in advance during low-water periods to assess navigability and plan your route accordingly.
