So, I have heard from several people that those cables in that part of the river have been an issue for years, kayakers get out and go around. Maybe if the end is going to encourage people to use Iowa’s waterways they should CLEAN UP IOWA’S WATERWAYS. The state or the county needs to get out there and back those cables out and make the area as safe as is reasonable. The family should sue worth county dnr.
Clean up a lot of things. Including the plastic bags stuck in the trees downtown MC. Can Robin or Bill climb a tree?
