This access point on the North Fork Maquoketa River within the Ozark Wildlife Area offers a scenic 4. 4-mile paddling segment featuring steep bluffs, limestone outcrops, boulders, and light rapids suitable for intermediate paddlers.

The put-in at 21st Ave/185th Street has a muddy but doable trail access off 185th Street, while the take-out at 60th Ave is on the east shore (public) though the bridge has been removed.

Water levels typically range from 231-300 CFS for average paddling conditions, and the stretch is best paddled in spring or fall when leafless trees reveal the scenic cliff formations.
