Athene North Shore Recreation Area
2- hour Kayak Rental and Dry bag
Accessible. Welcoming. Recreation. Those are the guiding principles that are driving Conservation’s efforts to create the most universally designed waterfront in Iowa – maybe even America. This will be a place where people of all ages and abilities can feel the spray of water on their face and the soft sand between their fingers or toes. Fish, boat, swim or simply play knowing you have access and support to do so fully. The Athene North Shore Recreation Area is where you can enjoy nature on your own terms – not in spite of your limitations, but in full acceptance and celebration of them.
