An Iowa DNR low head dam mitigation project in Central City created a river right fish passage and a river left boating passage containing five whitewater features. Riverside Park allows for vehicle parking and there are water access ramps located at each feature. These features provide opportunities for surfing, spinning, cartwheels, with limited looping potential on Feature 3.
A river height gauge has been installed at Feature 1, but the optimum paddling levels have not been established. Paddlers are encouraged to report river play levels.
