The Cedar River is officially cleared from Chappel Dam Rd to The Riverwalk Place.

We encountered lots of wildlife (when the chainsaw wasn't running.) Countless turtles were sunning themselves. A beaver swam 10 feet ahead of us for a few hundred feet. Deer, mallards, wood ducks, turkeys, king fishers and many other critters were out enjoying the sunshine. Summer is just around the corner, so give us a call to reserve your canoe, kayak, or tube trip down the beautiful Cedar River!

River update: 5/4/26

The Cedar River is now navigable from Chappel Dam Rd to The Riverwalk Place.

The main portion of the large log jam (roughly 1 mile down stream from Chappel Dam Rd.) is mostly cleared. There are still obstacles, but it is navigable by boat.

Logs released from the big jam may cause navigation issues further downstream. We plan to take a paddle later in the week to clean up the big jam further, and make sure the rest of the route is still clear.

River update:

As of 5-2-2026, there is one large obstruction roughly a mile downstream from chappel dam rd. A portage route has been cleared on the left bank.

We will be working on clearing this obstructions in the near future and will update once it is clear. The rest of the river is clear to the Riverwalk Place.

Registration is now open for The River Race of Two Cities!  We will be offering canoe/kayak rentals for this race.
