Description This project is to add a boat ramp to access the Iowa River in the northeast corner of Waterworks Park. Improvements include a boat ramp, boat trailer parking, a boat dock, and an access road. Total Project Cost: $250,000

Justification This project will contribute to the overall Iowa River paddle network and supports a state tourism grant application to establish the Iowa City Area as the Pedal Paddle Destination of the Midwest. This spot serves as the first publicly accessible access point along the Iowa River south of the boat access at the Coralville Reservoir dam. The project also connects paddlers to a 200-acre park with 3-miles of paved paths around ponds and prairies perfect for peddling or walking and the trail system along Dubuque Street and a pedestrian bridge over I-80 and connecting directly into Iowa City, the riverside location of the planned skate park, bike pump track, and singletrack trail, and the Iowa River Corridor trail network.
