Ten canoes are available for shuttled float trips on the Cedar River in Muscatine County. Trips go from Jack Shuger Memorial Park in Moscow to the Saulsbury Bridge Recreation Area ( approximately 9 miles), where the Cedar River meanders through floodplain forests and Wiese Slough, a State-owned wildlife management area. It is typically wide and fairly shallow during the summer months. There is no white water and it is a safe and interesting stretch of the river for experienced and novice canoeists.
Shuttle trips may be scheduled Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays, May through September as river conditions allow. Fee includes canoe, paddles, life jacket, and transportation to launch point in Jack Shuger Memorial Park for your canoeing party (no pets). Canoeists meet at the Cedar River Boat Ramp in the Saulsbury Bridge Recreation Area. A minimum of three canoes must be rented for the shuttled trips.
Reservations required in advance. Fee is $25/canoe for two people, a third (maximum) person may be added for an additional $5.
