About This Access Site
Long Point Landing provides public access to the Iowa River in Tama County, offering a convenient put-in or take-out point for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters. Located just off P Avenue south of the railroad near 360th Street, this site sits roughly halfway between Manatt's Landing (upstream in Tama) and Duffus Landing (downstream in Chelsea), making it useful for planning multi-access paddling trips. The landing includes a concrete boat ramp and shoreline fishing access on its 1-acre tract.

The Iowa River in this region offers moderate paddling with accessible access points spaced at reasonable intervals for day trips or longer excursions. This landing is a good option for paddlers looking to explore the middle section of the river between Tama and Chelsea. Before visiting, check current water conditions and river levels, as the Iowa River's flow can vary seasonally. Contact local authorities or check with nearby Scott County Parks for current information about conditions and any access details.
