Water Quality

It's the perfect time in Iowa to appreciate our forests, witness the peak fall colors, tackle invasive plants, and let leaves benefit our wildlife.

Fall is a great time to catch fish in Iowa’s rivers. A unique angling challenge is hidden around every bend.

Drivers take note, it’s mid-October and deer are on the move. Deer movement increases during the breeding season, peaking around the first week of November.

Iowa DNR is postponing the fall community trout stockings scheduled for October 23, 24 and 25 due to warm water temperatures.
