Hruska's
Canoe Livery
KendallVille, IA
For adventure, for relaxation or just
plain fun .....
LET'S GO CANOEING
Hruska's Canoe
Livery was established in 1970. We are
located in the Upper
Iowa River Valley in the village of
Kendallville, Iowa (accessed right off State Highway 139). The
Upper Iowa River flows through the 12 acre park.
The Upper Iowa is canoeable for about 110
miles, from Lime Springs, Iowa to the Mississippi River. This
distance seems to divide naturally into several segments, based
on campgrounds and scenery, with each being about long enough for
a one-day float. Choose from one of the following routes:
Lime Springs to Kendallville
(About 22 miles) After leaving a very picturesque old
mill and dam, the river meanders through gently rolling
prairie country, fed by numerous springs.
Kendallville to Bluffton (About
15 miles) The river flows in large u-shaped bends in a
narrow valley, with vertical limestone palisades rising
over 100 feet from the water's edge.
Bluffton to Decorah (About 15
miles) Wooded bluffs rise as high as 330 feet above the
river, with occasional rocky cliffs and crags.
The Upper Iowa River flows through the most
scenic part of Iowa. the river gradient is over 7 feet per mile.
Class 1 rapids are frequent. There are many wild, wooded and
scenic sections. Bluffs range from 150-300 feet rising from the
river's edge. Springs are frequent and eagles nest in the chimney
rock formations. The Upper Iowa River entices many fisherman to
try their skill in fishing for small mouth bass and trout.
