Overview
The steep bedrock walls inspire us to envision a period in Iowa’s history when rivers ran high and swollen as melt water made its way downstream from huge melting glaciers gouging deep valleys as they flowed. The sandy loess soil on the river's bluff tops tells a tale of wind and erosion. Often the fall colors are mixed into this unique landscape and provide a wall of color to view.
Location
Located on the east side of the Eby's Mill Road, just downstream of the bridge, on the left side of the river.
Features
