For those of you not familiar with Central Iowa this is a VERY common stretch of the river for float tubing and kayaking. We have done it several times ourselves. We were further upstream in the central raccoon yesterday, wading and enjoying the sun, and the water was still high and moving fast.
Rescue crews search for man missing on hazardous stretch of North Raccoon River
Construction of replacement bridges where Interstate 80 spans the river has made the popular tubing and kayaking route hazardous.
