Everything about The Iowa River totally explained
The
Iowa River is a
tributary of the
Mississippi River in the state of
Iowa in the
United States. It is about 300 miles long and is open to traffic to
Iowa City, about 65 miles from its mouth.
It arises in two branches, the West Branch and East Branch, both of which have their headwaters in
Hancock County, which join after approximately 25 miles in
Belmond.
The Iowa then proceeds roughly in a southeast direction, passing through towns of
Iowa Falls, through a scenic valley to
Steamboat Rock,
Eldora,
Marshalltown,
Tama,
Marengo, and through the
Amana Colonies in
Iowa County. In
Johnson County, it becomes impounded by the Coralville Dam in the Coralville Reservoir, which turns southward to the spillway. The river runs generally south and passes through Iowa City and the
University of Iowa campus. A lowhead dam at Burlington Street in Iowa City is the last dam before the river's confluence with the Mississippi. South of Iowa City, it's joined by the
English River, and then in
Louisa County joins with the
Cedar River to flow into the Mississippi.
The Iowa River is noted for recreational and commercial fishing. Game fish include
largemouth and
smallmouth bass,
walleye,
northern pike,
channel and
flathead catfish,
crappie and other
panfish. The Coralville Reservoir is
commercially fished for
carp and
buffalo fish.
Pine Lake
State Park is located on the Iowa River at
Eldora.
