Let's get on board to establish the Des Moines
River Water Trail

Gerry Rowland of Des Moines
has kayaked the length
of this great system. Check out his web site
http://www.desmoinesriver.org

Gerry suggests we join him in writing to individual cities and counties along the trail to build and maintain boat ramps, camping facilities & chemical toilets and signs for portage trails, warnings at obstacles.

Similar trails have been set up in Michigan, Minnesota, Maine, Washington, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Illinois. Why not Iowa??
