About This Access Site
Three Rivers Park offers a public boat launch on the Cedar River in Waverly, providing convenient access for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. The ramp includes a parking area suitable for vehicles with boat trailers, making it a practical put-in point for paddlers exploring this section of the Cedar River. The site is open during standard park hours (5 AM–10 PM), and trailer parking may require a pass during peak season (April–November).

The Cedar River in this area supports a variety of recreational activities, including fishing and wildlife viewing. Paddlers can expect to encounter the typical character of this Iowa river, though conditions vary by season and recent weather. The park also offers additional amenities including hiking and wildlife observation opportunities, making it a good base for a full day of outdoor recreation. Before launching, check current river conditions and water levels, as these can significantly affect paddling safety and difficulty.
