The Ultimate Paddler Experience

The 41-mile Red Rock Water Trail is located on Lake Red Rock near Pella and Knoxville, Iowa. The loop can be paddled in its entirety or broken up into shorter sections. The water trail features 8 access points, which are conveniently close to the many campgrounds around the lake.  Paddlers also enjoy a “sea” cave at certain lake levels as well as views of the cliffs.  For an added nature experience, pack your gear and pitch your tent overnight at the paddle-in/hike-in Hickory Ridge Nature Area.
