  Time: 9:00am - 11:00am
  Location: South Amana, IA

Come to the Amana Colonies for a four hour paddle trip on the Iowa River! Hop in the river with your kayak or canoe in South Amana and paddle down the river to Homestead. Just like our Volksmarches, this event is self-guided and doesn’t have a specific start time. We suggest getting on the river around 10:00 am and packing a picnic lunch to enjoy on one of the many sandbars along the way.

You must have a life jacket for each person in the river, and you should wear it at all times to be safe.

From 9:00 am – 11:00 am, the Visitors Center will run a free shuttle between the South Amana and Homestead so that you can drop your kayaks or canoes off in South Amana and then park your vehicle in Homestead to be ready for you when you finish the paddle.
