Maquoketa River weekend report from Hannah RayJ:

River levels on the Maquoketa are running above average flows. The river is flowing over the rocks throughout the park currently. Levels and conditions will be fluctuating due to rains in area. Be sure to check the online USGS river gauge frequently.

Know before you go. The best place to go through each drop structure is the center. The right side of each feature is comprised of strategic rocks. These rocks may make it bumpy for river crafts, but they allow the fish to navigate upstream through the park.
