Hello everyone, My daughter has a swim meet coming up in July in Cedar Falls Iowa and there will be alot of down time each of the 3 days. I was thinking of possibly bringing the boat with, but can't locate any sizable lakes in the area. I was looking for mainly recreation and cruising. Hopefully something over 500 acres within say 30 minutes of Cedar Falls. If you have any ideas let me know. Thanks in advance.

Leave the boat at home! There are no lakes around Cedar Falls/Waterloo.
All you have is the Cedar River that runs down the middle of both and it's mostly shallow. Unless it's flooded and flowing with around 20 mph current.
You wouldn't want to be on it at either time.
Unless you had a canoe of course!;)
Sorry:redface:

No problem, grew up there.
Took me till I was 19 to figure out I could leave.
Then I thought the Marine Corp was the only way out!
Enjoy your stay anyway.
