The Boone River downstream from Webster
City Iowa is an attractive waterway that was designated an Iowa
Protected Water Area in 1985. In places this Iowa river’s
valley is split dramatically by sheer, scenic bluffs. Its banks
are thick with lush, green woodlands. The Boone River contains
many riffles (small rapids over shallow portions of the river)
around its bends and little islands that take a trip from languid
to lively and back again in a few moments.
There are excellent opportunities to observe Iowa wildlife in
this relatively remote part of the state. Paddlers are bound to
see countless birds including kingfishers, wrens, finches, killdeer
and cardinals and blue jays. Larger birds, such as boisterous
geese and majestic herons, are also abundant here.
Anglers will have a chance to do a little Iowa fishing on this
river as well. Smallmouth bass and catfish are plentiful in the
Boone River. |
