Canoe Trip Down Iowa Cedar to Mississippi Ends at New Boston
A family expedition paddled 300 miles across Iowa from Moscow to the Mississippi in a voyage along the Cedar and Iowa rivers. High water and shifting channels forced overnight camping on a levee, near Florence and Oakville, with encounters of wildlife and changing river towns. The trip concluded at the old ferry landing opposite New Boston, marking a Labor Day finale to a nature soaked journey.
