Sixteen Access

Sixteen Bridge Access is a canoe access point on the Yellow River in Allamakee County, providing paddlers with a launch location for exploring this scenic coldwater stream.

The Yellow River is recognized as Iowa's longest coldwater trout stream with the highest gradient of any canoeable stream in the state, offering challenging rapids, limestone cliffs, and towering bluffs along its lower 35 miles.

This access point serves as one of several put-in options for canoeists navigating the river's dramatic landscape between other established access points.
