About

Whitewater Creek offers a short run through the remarkable “Whitewater Canyon” below Whitewater Road. It is often too shallow to paddle, and becomes hazardous at flood times due to the constricted nature of the gorge. It can be linked with a longer trip on the North Fork of the Maquoketa. (Iowa DNR)
