Wiese Slough Wildlife Area

Wiese Slough Wildlife Area offers two boat ramps providing access to approximately 1,700 acres of water and wildlife habitat in Muscatine County near Moscow, Iowa. The ramps serve as gateways to Wiese Slough and the nearby Cedar River, making this a solid option for kayakers, canoeists, and small boat operators. Parking is available by following Mohawk Avenue south to designated areas near the ramps.

This is a wildlife-focused access point managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, so expect an active natural area with diverse bird populations and scenic surroundings. The slough and adjacent habitat are actively managed to maintain prairie and wetland ecosystems. Beyond paddling, the area supports fishing and hunting opportunities seasonally, so plan your visit accordingly.
