Turkey River Park
Located on the east edge of Elkader, Turkey River Park offers the perfect place to start a canoe or kayaking adventure. With easy access to the Turkey River, canoeists can enter the river and spend the day canoeing to Motor Mill or Garber. Plan on spending nearly two hours on the river in order to get to Motor Mill and almost six hours to get to the quaint town of Garber. Both floats have beautiful views of Northeast Iowa’s limestone bluffs, forests, and wildlife.
