About This Access Site
Mohawk Park provides direct access to the West Fork Cedar River in Cedar Rapids, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters. The park offers standard amenities including parking and a boat ramp. The surrounding area is popular for fishing, and the park also features hiking and wildlife viewing opportunities. Note that the backwater areas southeast of the ramp are scenic but may have access restrictions—check current conditions before planning.

This is one of several access points in the Cedar Rapids area; paddlers should verify current access status before visiting, as the City of Cedar Rapids occasionally closes river access points for maintenance or events. The West Fork Cedar River in this location offers moderate paddling opportunities suitable for recreational boaters and paddlers of varying skill levels. Be sure to consult local conditions and any posted regulations at the park.
