Come help the Iowa Rivers Revival celebrate the historic and scenic Turkey River on Aug. 11 at Turkey River Rocks.
The organization invites anyone, from novice paddlers to seasoned pros, to get to know the natural wonders of this 98-mile water trail and learn to truly appreciate Iowa's waterways.
The cost is $20 per person and includes insurance, program costs, food and entertainment. Participants who sign up by July 24 will receive a free t-shirt and guaranteed meal.
Participants should bring their own paddling equipment, sack lunch, water and snacks. A limited number of canoes and kayaks are available to reserve in advance from Turkey River Outfitters or by phone at (563) 245-3802. Children under 18 years old must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.
