Facilities
The Waterloo Rowing Club is based in the boating center in Cedar River Park,
Waterloo. The facility is owned by the city of Waterloo, under the authority of
the department of Leisure Services, which gives the rowing club permission to store boats and equipment
for their activities. The boathouse is large enough for large shell storage and is convenient to a dock for launching.
The road to the boating center, parking lot and boat ramp branches south off Park
Road, about 300 yards west of Fairview Ave (south of Fairview Cemetery). Click for a map of the area
around the boathouse and links to other related maps.
The Cedar River can be rowed from the Waterloo
Recreation Center (about one half mile downstream of the boating center) to the Cedar Falls dam
(about seven miles upstream). Most of the rowing is done between the First Street bridge
in Waterloo and the Highway 218 bridge next to George Wyth Park. The Waterloo
Rowing Club owns:
- an eight person shell
- three four person shells
- two double/pair shells
- a competitive single
- a single trainer
- recreational single
- two rowcats
- a launch with outboard motor
Limited rack space for privately-owned boats is available for Waterloo Rowing
club members.
