Holliwell Covered Bridge Access (Access #50) is the final developed access point on the 45-mile Middle River Water Trail, located 3½ miles southeast of Winterset on river-left immediately adjacent to the historic 110-foot Holliwell Covered Bridge.

This scenic takeout point provides access to a highly meandered section of river with easy to moderate paddling, though paddlers should be aware that access below this point is limited due to steep banks and dense vegetation.

The location offers a unique opportunity to paddle past one of Iowa's most famous covered bridges, featured in the film "The Bridges of Madison County."
